How did they know?
Page 64 – 66;
We asked ourselves why we were angry. In most cases it was found that our self-esteem, our pocketbooks, our ambitions, our personal relationships (including sex) were hurt or threatened. So we were sore. We were “burned up.”
Our injuries? One example;
Self-esteem: (Mr. Brown is such an a**) “Brown may get my job at the office?” Oh heck no – Brown is not better than I am! He doesn’t deserve that. I’m telling the boss. What’s that? At least Brown is here everyday without a hangover? How dare you!
As I slink away hating myself…
Another example – my wife (okay, ex-wife);
Pride – Personal Sex Relations: “Misunderstands and nags. Likes Brown. Wants house put in her name.” NO! I don’t have a problem with booze! Leave me alone! What do you mean you like Brown? He’s such an a**! Do you have something going with that idiot? Hey – I put a lot of effort into this house also! What are you trying to say? I’m never here? How dare you?
As I slink away hating myself…
“It is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness.”
