In a perfect world, when we experience hurt we would be able to get over it and move on. We would not feel resentment towards the person we perceive has disappointed us in some way. That's right - when we get angry at someone else, it is because that person did not act in a …

When Is It You and When Is It Chance?
I get really irked when I hear someone diminish themselves, attributing something great they've done to chance, someone else, a higher power, etc. They seriously are not aware that they are the reasons for their success.
