Emotional
Indigestion

They tell us not to cry over spilled milk and yet, whenever we loose great chances or make fools of ourselves, we suffer the pangs of remorse. They tell us two wrongs do not make a right, and yet we constantly suffer
The trustees, however, feeling public sentiment against such a move, appointed a special committee on reorganization and ways and means for continuing the orchestra next year.
the orchestra be disbanded at the end of the present season and its assets liquidated. This step seemed to be necessary to meet the $18,000 deficit which will exist at the end of this year's series of engagements.
The trustees have granted the committee another week to complete and submit a full report. The future of the Kansas City Philharmonic hangs upon next week's decision. The Philharmonic will present a children's concert in Hoch auditorium at 2:15 p.m. Tuesday. The evening program begins at 8:20 p.m.

But individuals who bear grudges and who live largely to "get even" cause suffering to many others besides themselves. Sometimes national resentment affects the happiness of all humanity.

Emotions are useful
23rd and Louisiana
Psychologists know something of the genesis of both remorse and resentment. Under certain circumstances these emotions are even useful. Our social consciences, or technically super-egos, place barriers in the way of the repetition of previous harmful or painful behavior through remorse. Society has domesticated the dangerous aggressive urges since time immemorial though the threat of retaliation. If you know it is your eye for his, you will tend to curb your impulse to snatch your neighbor's eye out. The law of the talion arose out of society's necessity.
Remorse and resentment become dangerous when they become the prevalent emotions. The emotional satisfaction which may be had this year by knocking out a neighbor's tooth, in order to even the score for the one of yours he knocked out last year, ought to be tempered by the realization that he may knock your head off next year. Under these circumstances the old Christian ethic of cheek turning might have been more reasonable in the first place. Resentment is universal
In the present world, resentment has become too universal as a motivating force. Since early in the twentieth century revenge has been leading to counter revenge so that it is no longer tooth for tooth, but civilization for civilization. Early in his book, "Mein Kampf," Hitler describes the intense resentment he felt in his youth towards orthodox Jews. Some, although certainly not all, of the German anti-Semitism is

During three years as a student in Germany I was constantly reminded by otherwise normal Germans that soon France and England would "pay for" Versailles.
