Over and over Host Peter Walsh points out that the "thing" one wants to keep is not the actual person or memory. You have your memories, you will not forget the source of a scar but why keep the wound open with the anger? Why define yourself by that wound and that scar? Wouldn't you like to define yourself by something more positive, that is "you" instead of something ugly done
to you?
