What gets your knickers in a twist?
How do you react when you've been hurt; when
someone offends you; when you're dissed; when you're annoyed? Psychologists call
these offenses, these slights, "narcissistic injuries" because they
bruise our egos and make us feel belittled. According to Psychology Today,
slights may seem trivial, on the surface, but they can have dangerous
consequences. They can play on our minds, opening up wounds, which are
difficult to heal; they eat away at us from the inside. Professor of Religion
and Episcopal Bishop Ed Gungor posed this question, theory and solution: “Who offends you most? The measure of your
love for the ones that [have] bothered you most is the measure of your love for
God.” A really smart and Godly man once said, in the midst of terrible
anguish, “…Father, forgive them…” Wronged,
dissed, belittled and wounded He took the high road of loving and forgiving – a
lesson for all of us. Peace…PKES
