Try thinking differently about it, Permanent Pajamas. Consider that children can be cruel until they either outgrow it or are taught a better way of treating other people. They are the ones who would crumble under the realization that they are revealing themselves, not you, Permanent P.J's.

Also, forgiving them does more for you than it will ever do for the people you forgive. For one thing, it frees you inside from feelings of inferiority or negativity to know that they no longer have any ability to affect your emotions in any way whatsoever.

When you realize that only very weak people behave this way, you'll see yourself for all the strength that you really do have to live without the need for children trying to control your thoughts.

Life is really worth living well when we are free inside. Try to find that, please, because it's in you just waiting to be let go so that your little child can come out to play!

Take care and love yourself, please.
