Let's discuss...Wrath (7 Deadly Sins)

Wrath is uncontrolled anger, rage or hatred, often with a desire for revenge.

It's different from healthy anger in that the anger rules the person, not the other way around.
Wrath can feel righteous. Once we're sure we're right, cruelty can start to feel like justice.

• Does wrath blind us, open our eyes or no different the visiting the opticians clinic for a new pair of glasses?

• Where does righteous anger end and sin begin?

• Are people wrong if their beliefs hurt those closest to them?

🧠 Food for thought.

• Is there such a thing as a pure sword, an anger without sin?

• Is a calm zealot more dangerous than a hot temper?

• Who taught you what's worth getting angry about?

• Is holding a grudge slow-burning wrath?

• Does wrath feel good, and is that the problem?
