Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun.
To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back - in many ways it is a feast fit for a king.
The chief drawback is what you are wolfing down is yourself.
The skeleton at the feast is you.

Welcome to moi blog - glad to have you as a follower! And lemme just say, although I am not big on anger I'd say, I am a huge fan of confrontation, it's one of my best assets. :)
Oooooh, deeeeep. He's right though. It's true.
I just have difficulty remembering that sometimes!

Awesome quote! I can't say I haven't feasted on my own misery before.
Eek! Good quote. Made me shake in my boots a bit.
Yeah...this is one of my favorite quotes EVER. I used to be a very angry person - about life in general - and having made many changes, it rings eerily true.
