WHITBY- FREE PRESS 6686111 By THE REV.-DAN HOGAN Pastor Whitby Seventh Day Advenitist Church Life seems to be a sehool from which we human beings have littie chance of graduating. One of -the lessons which we have a bard time grasping is that of getting along as human-beings in this world of ours. Disharmony appears to be the rule 0f life rather than its exception. The latest global example of this is seen in the conflict over the Falklands. However, it is the collective expression of resent- men by the Argentines over their apparent defeat that I wish to focus on. Resentment is one 0f our human reactions to dis- harmony, confrontation, or conflict. Our human concern for our feelings, our dignity, or our sense of worth cause us to take personal offence at negative thoughts expressed or negative actions taken. The end result being a near stroke from a fit of rage or ulcers and high blood pressure as one quietly "dsteams" over the matter. No matter how much one may justify his resent- ment one fact is very apparent. Resentment hurts the one who harbors it more than the one heresents 1 When anger, bitterness, and resentment are per- mitted lodging in the mmnd it makes for fatigue, mental disturbance, and physical illness. Resentment is a monumental waste of energy. Every spark diverted to the destructive work of resentment robs one of that much energy for doing something constructive. The most productive and long-lived people tend to be those who usually oporate on an "even keel." A local carpet store has reported the thef t of $420 after a bag deposit- ed into its bank's night dçpository went missing. According to the Durham Regional Pol- ice Force, the Factory Graduating through life God's Word long ago bore witness to that fact when it was stated, "What nman is ho that desires life, and loves many days, that he may seo good? Koop your tongue from evil, and your lips froni speakign gmile. Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. " (Psalm 34:12-14). *While living in a world with othor faulty human, boings who have differing opinions and values, we must expect'to meet with our dally dosage of annoy- ing or irritating situations. People wil intentionally or unintentionally be critical, unkind, discourteous, surly, mean, ungrateful, or just plain difficult to get along with. We may use these experiences to per- sonal gain like steppîng-stones rather than permit- ting them to become stumbllng-stones. First of all one should determine that he will try to get along with every person he meets., Always look for the good in others. Paul's advice in scripture is "If possible so far as it dopends on you, bo at poace with ail mon. Nover take your own reveng, ... " <Romans 12:18-19).'< Secondly, one should determine to cope con- structively with the frustration, anger, and rosent- ment of the moment. This may mean that ho will either walk away frorn his tormentor, ,romain silent until ho has cooled off, or will find the huinorous side of the incident. >Last of alI, one needs to open the heart to the spirit of forgiveness. Forgive the person who lias wronged you even if he doesn't ask for it. Remom- ber thero is enough hate and resentment in the world. We need a love strong enougli to forgive and forget. Don't koep a long list of the wrongs done to you.- Hlave a mental garage sale. Get rid of the thoughts you really don't need! Learn to be compatible. A wise man wrote: "A small injury shail go as it comes, a great injury may dine or sup with me, but none shaîl at all lodge with me. Why should I vex myself because another fias vexed me?"'
