I have a friend who doesn’t foster any sort of bad feelings towards anyone. If you asked him who the biggest jerk is in his company, he couldn’t name even one. He has more of a “feeling of the present” rather than anything that lingers. So, he can get frustrated with a co-worker, but he doesn’t think the guy’s an idiot. Frequently, he says he thinks about how he could have communicated better.

For myself, if you asked everyone in my company who the biggest jerk is (and they could guarantee that they’d stay anonymous) I think at least 90% of the responses would point to the same guy. (Mine sure would.)

This may explain why he’s on such good terms with all of the women he’s gone out with. And with me and my wife, who have been consistently beating him at boardgames! (Since we stopped playing Settlers, anyway.)

I feel like my friend’s attitude is very Christ-like, and yet I find it almost impossible to imagine. Does not compute.
