re: #475 Bagua

Well, I’m a fan of fighting back, as you know. And also I know I’ve missed a lot of the exchanges here that are relevant, some of them before I joined too I think, so I know I don’t have the whole story. I appreciate the way you and I handle our disagreements.

This is the quote via Sanity Inspector which I find very useful, and not only online:

Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back — in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.
— Frederick Buechner

This isn’t directed at you in particular by any means, and when I next email LVQ I’ll likely send it to him as well. Just something I’m finding very useful.
