OOooofff! This one hit me hard this morning, as I deal with the tail-end of a nasty, toxic situation in one of my work fields. Thanks for the reminder, I have caught myself fantasising about various ways to punish this person for their abusive, disrespectful behaviour towards me. But that's really not going to help me feel any better about my experience... (although it may prevent them from treating another person this way again, which is habitual pattern for this individual).

The way I'm working at bringing forgiveness into it is asking myself whether I am the appropriate person to 'teach this lesson'... to believe so feels like hubris to me, so I let it go. It's still pretty raw though.
