HOROSCOPES
The search for
vindictive triumph

STEPHEN HUME, in his ‘‘At Large’? column in The
Vancouver Sun, asked, ‘‘Are we to be no more than a
footnote in history: Canada the country that died of

spite?’’

And considering what's about
to happen south of the border (the
U.S. election), many voters these
days are coming from revenge and
spite.

“To get even’’ suggests there is
an imbalance of power. We tend
to resent most those we are most
dependent on.

The greatest, mosi sustained
resentments leave us with a desire
for revenge. When we feel
powerless and dependent in a rela-
tionship and have no direct way
of striking back, we do stuff to
ourselves out of spite.

When we say, “IH show
them,’’ we generally show them
by harming ourselves.

The search for vindictive
triumph destroys our satisfaction
in many areas, being unrelenting
in its demands.

The quest for vengeance puts
our own drive and power outside
ourselves, giving the person or en-
tity we must get even with power
over us. ... ft pushes other, more
important aspects of our lives to
the side. .

The desire for revenge poisons
our consciousness. Suicide is often
a vengeful act. Telling the deep
dark secret can often be done in a
vengeful manner, a Ja Christina
Crawford, who wrote ‘Mommie
Dearest.

As long as we go after revenge,
we are controlled by it. We are
mired in the past and cannot free-
ly move toward the future.

Within the context of a thera-
peutic counselling process called
“reclaiming your power,”’ | gently
reveal the dynamics of guilt,
resentment, the pitfalls of revenge
and spite, and much else that in-
hibits us from fully and freely ex-
pressing ourselves and moving
forward in life.

Il teach that letting go of
resentments and forgiving is not
for the sake of the ‘‘other,’’ but
for oneself. I make plain that we
can never make another person
happy by stifling our own devel-
opment.

People who come to realize this
take full responsibility for what
they are creating and choose to
move from unsatisfying com-
promise to ‘uncompromising
satisfaction. I would wish this on
every person and country in the
world.

Canada won't ‘“‘die,”’ of course.
She will transmute, transform,
and, eventually, transcend — as
will we all — as is our collective
wont.

—- All leve, all one. Robert.
