“There are some - called 'death fatigue' - people who just grow so tired of death, so they don't want to keep perpetuating death and creating more victims and more anger and more pain. They want to heal from that, and I think that's exactly what God wants to do. And, interestingly enough, that's part of what God's original law was doing with the 'eye for an eye' thing. It was actually to limit the patterns of retaliation and then to begin to heal from that.” PeopleThinkingWantEnoughEyePainLawGrowsLimitsCreatingOriginalsVictimTiredPatternsHealFatigueRetaliationPerpetuatingEye For An Eye Author:Shane Claiborne

“Abuse is always wrong. Some try to excuse it. Most perpetrators have a sense of entitlement, thinking their actions are justified. Ironically, their victims may also believe they deserve to be mistreated. Some will even defend their abuser, citing his or her earnest apologies afterward. But abuse in any form, for any reason, wounds both spouses. It's always sinful, and few things destroy trust in a marriage as quickly. Regardless of childhood pain or marital conflict, mature spouses learn to set limits so anger doesn't become abuse by frequency, degree, or duration.” ThinkingTryingBelieveMayReasonActionPainFormChildhoodConflictLimitsDegreesDeserveAbuseVictimExcuseWoundsMatureApologySpouseJustifiedEarnestFrequencyEntitlementDurationAbusersPerpetratorsCitingAlways WrongMistreatedSense Of Entitlement Author:Rob Jackson
