I don't march for animals, but I do enjoy them and certainly believe in humane treatment. SO . . . know that while I'd never do this, it causes me to ponder the consequence of revenge or unforgiveness.
It was during World War II. Within a matter of weeks, 4 million Russians died at the hands of the Nazis.
Russia was desperate.
One man devised a plan to strap bombs onto hundreds of dogs and send them under the advancing German tanks. Sick, I know.
"The Germans looked on in astonishment as packs of dogs came running at them. Suddenly, the dogs stopped and looked both ways in confusion. Then, they turned tail and ran back toward the Soviet battle group and under their tanks."
Big oops! They trained their dogs using their own tanks!

Makes me think of boomerangs. If you throw one, you best keep your head up and your eyes watching, 'cause if you don't catch the boomerang, it's gonna catch you.
Ouch!
Unforgiveness is not effective. It may feel right. It does not feel good. It will hurt us far more than the person it's intended for. God knows the best way to deal with the wrong. Let Him.
EverGrowing,
