Diamonds in the sky,
Those whom we honor can teach us things that others can't. Learning what not to do is sometimes as or more important than learning what to do.
What did your father gain from trying to punish your mother? Better yet, what was the cost?
Desire for revenge comes from resentment, which comes from hurt pride, our deadliest character defect.
If I might make another suggestion, read the serenity prayer three times, taking a fifteen minute pause between readings to ponder what you just read, then post what you
think it's message is.
Must retire for the evening.
YEHYAH
