alonon and sarcasom
Among the many weapons we use to castigate the addict or alcoholic or other people we disapprove of - is sarsarcasm. True, it relieves our pent-up feelings and if our remarks are really pointed, gives us a certain satisfaction.
Repugnant as it is in itself, sarcasm becomes even more distasteful when we find it comes from the Greek verb "sarcazo" which means to tear flesh. It is that form of irony in which the speaker is motivated by scorn.
If I have ever used this weapon agaisnt the troubled addict, I promise myself not to do it again. I have no right to scorn anyone, since I can never know what creates the need to behave as they do.
Todays Reminder
I will mae an effort to blend gentleness with firmness to add a note of hormony to my relations with others instead of tearing and destroying. I will realize that the wounds made by sarcasm are slow to heal, and may defer the longed for improvement in my life.
"A scorner seeketh wisdom and findeth it not. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding"
