If you have been harmed physically, financially or even emotionally, you are justified in seeking restitution. But begrudging someone when you don’t deserve any compensation is vengeful and wrong.

A friend or associate is not required to do something for you just because you asked. It might seem indecent of them, but that’s no reason to say or do something uncivil in return. It’s a small thing in the big picture and not worth getting distraught over. You’re better than that. By keeping your self-control and dignity, you will do wonders for your soul and spirit.
