I have this idea about forgiveness…
It is mostly futile to just say “I forgive you” to someone. I do that, and about an hour later, whatever hurt that person did to me just comes back to mind, the hurt just ain’t gone.
When I am hurt, the part of me that gets hurt is my ego, I don’t get my way.
It’s all about self.
If I work on not having a “way”, the things people do to me can’t get in my “way”.
And if I keep my ego small, it being the only thing that suffered the hurt in the first place, I will forget the injury not forgive it. The hurt will just go away.
Without my ego screaming at me hour on end about all it has suffered, my life gets so much easier to live.
On the road to the good stuff,
Richard
