Last week I ran into a bloke from my high school called Nick - for two years he made my life a living hell.
Although I've seen him since to say hello to I've not spoken to him since college when he used to make fun of me and that was over 15 years ago.
At first when I saw him I walked past and just smiled, then I decided to go back and chat.
We spoke for about 5 or 10 minutes about what we are doing now and what the last 10 years had involved.
Although nothing was mentioned of the way he used to pick on me I felt really good being able to face him as an equal and forgive him.

Gosh, that's a hard one indeed. You are so brave to do that. I wonder what he was thinking? I can't quite manage the forgiveness myself.
I had something similar many years ago, but in my case the guy pretended not to know me. Maybe it was because I was with some big guys and he was alone at the time.
I thought his memory lapse was a bit strange as he had been investigated by the police for assaulting and wounding me. It's a very long time ago, but I'll be honest I don't really forgive him.
I'd like to know how you do the forgiveness. I have worked through a lot of stuff over the years but the forgiveness thing is still a block for me.
My respect to you Pauli,
Cheers, Myzen.
