One of my classes this semester is anger reduction and forgiveness. It has proven to be quite an interesting class! One of the books I have to read is Forgive for Good by Dr. Fred Luskin. At the beginning of each chapter there is a quote or thought by someone. This was at the beginning of the chapter I had to read this week. It is good food for thought so I thought I would share it!
Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun.
To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back -- in many ways it is a feast fit for a king.
The chief drawback is what you are wolfing down is yourself.
The skeleton at the feast is you

Isn't it amazing how se can tie so many things in to food or the experience of eating? Great quote. Glad I'm not hungry...
