Book Titles

We all tend to work out our conflicts upon the backs of each other, especially our friends. We all have been unfair and mean.

Anger takes us out of the fearful, vulnerable position and puts us back into attack mode, which restores our feeling of control, as well as reducing our feelings of vulnerability.

You will help yourself if you let yourself know that you cannot change the past by being angry about it.

Forgiving is a kind of mourning, a giving up on certain hopes.

The best cure for anger is, first of all, time; second is empathy. You have to allow yourself to feel the first burst of anger.

Hatred within families may be the most damaging and enduring of all human conflicts, and the most difficult to sort out.

Beware of the word ‘justice’ outside of a courtroom. It is a cover for many less noble words, such as vengeance, selfishness, pride, fear and prejudice.

The righteous indignation of the mob is like a drug; it makes us drunk with a desire to condemn and to punish.

This is where forgiveness starts: in the honest searching of our own hearts.

…the people who are the healthiest and happiest resort to the mature defenses in dealing with stress.
