Forgiveness: "An insult is either sustained or destroyed...

"An insult is either sustained or destroyed, not by the disposition of those who insult, but in the disposition of those who bear it." St. John Chrysostom

For Reflection: St. John Chrysostom gives good advice on how to short-circuit the need to forgive. What is my disposition when I am insulted? Does it "sustain" the insult or "destroy" it? What disposition would destroy it? (See tomorrow's Grace Line for one saint's suggestion.)
