One thing that used to grieve me about my childhood. Whenever I misbehaved - which was quite often - my Mum would berate me for my immediate sin, and then drag up all of the other mistakes that I had ever made. It was as though she was keeping a running total of all my mistakes. Consequently, it only took the slightest thing to put her tolerance level over the top. She would first of all point out the immediate flaw and then follow it with "and you did this and you did that and you did the other..." ad infinitum.
What was happening was that her tolerance level was always on the point of overflowing because she was unable to see each isolated incident as being precisely just that: An isolated incident. Instead she was in a perpetual state of "having had it up to here" for much of the time.
I see the same thing happening on DB's all the time now. I've even seen examples of someone hating someone else so much that they advertise their hatred for that person as their signature. Imagine carrying a grudge around so that it's permanently there for all to see!
Just lately I've been feeling a lot more benevolent to my fellow posters because I've tried to remember to not tot things up in that familiar old pattern that I picked up all those years ago. Maybe at 58 I'm actually learning "not to keep account of the injury" anymore.
Whatever. I feel much happier for it.
