Punishing Yourself

When you want someone to get their comeuppance or get what they have coming to them, you really are saying you want them punished. This is a projection of how you feel about yourself, that you should be punished. Why would you think that you should be punished? Because you believe that you have sinned against God. Compassion starts with yourself. You cannot see a world of gentleness and beauty, of holiness and Love, unless you first see that in your Self.
