Get Ahead, Not Even


"Time spent getting even would be better spent getting ahead."

Few currents are so powerful as that of revenge. It draws from streams of entitlement, fear, ego and pride into a raging river of anger. There are much clearer passageways on shore. Yet time and again, after a bump in the road, I've dived in fully clothed to swim furiously about, flailing in a futile and exhausting froth that goes nowhere.

These days I'm much drier. It's warming to stretch in the sun, take an easy step forward, and enjoy progress.
