Overcoming Dis-ease

Dislike can grow into annoyance;
annoyance can blossom into anger;
anger can turn to hatred.
 
We have to be careful not to let the seeds of our dislike grow and multiply,
The words of Jesus and of other spiritual masters apply even to those mildest of negative feelings, our dislikes. To become truly free, to work for unity and peace, we have to work at all these relationships that cause us pain and dis-ease.
~Jean Vanier in Becoming Human
