Variations 23:167-175 (2015)

Abstract

Resentment, voiced in words, turns into a curse. Curses appeal to a superior power that is meant to execute them – God. But if God were God, he would have better things to do than to execute resenters’ curses, and if he were less than God, he could not execute them. Hence those who curse are led, in the end, to curse God, too – and once again in vain.
