For years I have nursed a hatred of a former who traumatized me, and soon I will be in a position secure enough to freely say some really wrathful things to or about him.
I'm struggling to think of reasons why I shouldn't. I honestly haven't moved on and I can't really see that it's likely that I will.
My main hesitation is that I don't want to hear his response. I know that makes me a bad person but it's the truth.
Other reasons not to let fly:
- I am still embarrassed about one dumb way that I reacted to his shitty behavior and that could be used to hurt me even now
- I am big mad and it's still a good general rule not to act on anger
- it's a small world and he has had 10+ years to build up goodwill among the people at his level
- his wife is even worse than he is, so any lesson I manage to import on him will ultimately fail to find long-term uptake
@cosmiccitizen Hatred is bad for you.
But then, I can join you in the Bodhisattva except for my one enemy club.
