An interesting item hit the newswires this week. Maybe you heard about it.It seems a dentist in Poland is facing charges after allegedly pulling out all of a patients teeth on a recent visit. The problem is he only had one tooth giving him trouble. Now she has troubles of her own.
As Paul Harvey used to say, here's the rest of the story.
Anna Mackowiak is the dentist in question. It seems her ex-boyfriend came to see her with a toothache. Marek Olszewski had ended their relationship just weeks before the office visit. Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do, but he was depending on her professionalism to end his pain. Apparently he forgot about hers.
"I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions," she explained. However, she couldn't let bygones be bygones. She then sedated Olszewski and removed all his teeth. When he recovered she uttered what could possibly be the biggest understatement of the year. "You're going to need to see a specialist."
No kidding. Unfortunately, she is going to have to see a judge.
Now let's be honest. We kind of like that story. Who among us has not wanted to exact revenge on someone who has wronged us? I know I have. But taking revenge can ruin us spiritually.
Taking revenge can destroy our relationships with others. Such actions also show our lack of faith in God who has vowed that He will avenge us.
Remember, how we handle feelings of revenge speaks volumes about our character. Giving in to desires to "get even" can ruin our Christian witness. We would be well advised to understand that when we take matters into our own hands, we are stepping into God's territory.
