“No sin is worse than the sin of self-pity, because it obliterates God and puts self-interest upon the throne. It opens our mouths to spit out murmurings and our lives become craving spiritual sponges, there is nothing lovely or generous about them.” — Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
Self-pity is satanic
It is the desire to rule over ruins rather than serve under a Sovereign. It is impetuous and stupid. It does not merely hurt others to gain for itself, it hurts others without getting anything back. It sends itself to its room without any supper in order to punish its parents. It starves itself in order to send a message, but ends up cutting off its lines of communication.
