Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 03, 2024

Carry too many grudges too long and you will wear yourself down.

“Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.”—-Mark Twain

Yes me can bearly remembers these days too.

I suppose there are different types of grudges. One type is the “active grudge”, where one complains and dwells on being wronged, simmering in the stew of resentment. The other type is the “passive grudge”, where one simply writes the other person out of their own life. I do the latter.

I’ve always found the grudge is remembered long after the cause was forgotten.

Being ADD has it’s advantages…“Dag-NAB-it!! I’m so mad I could just… OOOOooo!! Shiny thing…!!”

The grudge thing depends on how you were raised ;-)

It’s like that old saying “A woman will forgive you but, she’ll never forget about it. Whereas a man will never forgive you but, he’ll forget about it.”

Big Al scores again! Number 500?

I was angry at my friend. I told my anger; it did end.

I was angry at my foe. I told it not and it did grow. —Blake

I grew up with aunts and uncles like that. My siblings and I are now in our 70’s and 80’s and we are determined not to be that way.

LOL that’s me.

I’ve learned to just turn the person over to God and move on. He’ll remember when the time comes and ‘push the UP or DOWN button’ accordingly.

You’re a lucky plugger if you have no wounds so deep they can’t be forgotten.
