Even the most understanding and patient person may be roused to indignation by the behaviour of others. It is right that we register our disapproval of actions that transgress previous agreements or even general understandings but it is not right to allow our reaction to become entrenched, to acquire feelings of resentment and vengeance. Then we become victims of ourselves.

Rather, detach yourself as soon as possible from the event and later, when you are able to reflect on the situation in quiet meditation, hear the Christ within ask "What is that to you?" Prolonged anger gives others power over you. In effect you have begun to worship another god.

Do not allow such darkness to dull the bright, short day that is your life. Forgiveness of yourself and others clears away the clouds and lets you see clearly God's kingdom all around you.
