Why is it that our negative and painful thoughts are most likely to stick around? To what lengths will the ego to protect itself? How should we handle the lust for revenge? In this episode, I discuss the revenge which Simon and Levi took when a young prince had sex with their sister Dinah. When confronted with feelings for revenge, we often fall back on ingrained clichés from Christian morality that we should turn the other cheek and love our enemies. Yet, as Nietzsche argued, the real way to achieve revenge is to literally forget the wound to the ego. This can be accomplished through mindfulness of thoughts meditation and through living a life of such abundance and vigor that insults effortlessly roll off your back.
