Everyone has been damaged by some event or person in their life. One dictionary defined forgiveness as "to cease to feel anger or bitterness about an offense or toward a person". Some even in the midst of the evils of the holocaust were able to do this by having an understanding of why it was happening, and the knowledge that hating their tormentors did not harm the perpetrator in the least. The only harm it caused was to themselves, in addition to what they were already enduring. Doing this, though, requires the management of our own thoughts and feelings, rather than allowing them to control us and dominate our lives. Not easy to do necessarily, but definitely best for us and our loved ones. Good job helping all of us who are victims reclaim our lives! This topic is extraordinary.

It is true that a grudge is much harder on the person holding it than the object of the anger. I remember reading about an unfortunate woman who had just been subjected to the concentration camp of Auschwitz-Birkaneau. Who could blame her for not forgiving the sadistic and merciless Nazis? But a woman who had been in the camp for a while befriended her. One day she gave her this poignant advise: "Do not hate them. Hating them won't hurt them." I often try to think of that when someone is going down the road in front of me with their stupid turn signal blinking the whole way. On another note, if that is you holding your head in the photo above, I would like to make an appointment to see you right away. I have insurance. Good little article here.
