Understand the Ego Trap
The Injured Premise
“I was hurt, so my judgment makes sense. If I don't hold them responsible, I'm abandoning myself.”
Watch Your Mind
Wrong-mindedness: The wrong mind protects the story of injury because victimhood makes blame feel righteous. Once hurt is enthroned, attack appears reasonable and even loyal.
Right-mindedness: The right mind notices the belief underneath justified anger and lets that premise be questioned before judgment hardens into blame.
Carry This With You
Hurt does not authorize you to make blame holy.
