Has my disease been active recently? In what way?

I've been getting angry and obsessive over people I have no power or control over. There's this guy that hurt someone I care about. He believes he is 'the shit' and can do anything he wants without repercussions. He buys his friends and uses people like the person he hurt to inflate his ego. I want to deliver consequences to him in many ways (VIOLENCE, monetary, slander) but I know it isn't up to me. Its MY ego that wants to hurt HIS ego. I just need to be patient and let my higher power handle it. I just wish I could be a fly on the wall when he gets 'balanced' out.

 

Wow, I could have written the exact same thing! There's a certain gang leader who I absolutely loathe. He hurt someone I care about, and he seems to continue hurting and exploiting others. I wish I could get him back, but unfortunately that isn't an option. And like you say, I guess it's just my ego that wants to be satisfied. I like to think that what goes around comes around, so maybe karma will get him sooner or later.
