Has anyone ever wronged you in the pass. Do you hold grudges or ill feelings toward them? Over my almost five decades of living, I am happy to say that I do not have any ill feelings against anyone. Does that mean I wasn’t wronged? Absolutely not! Due to my wife’s and my kindness, we have been taken advantage of numerous times. We have had tens of thousands of dollars taken from us. We have helped people who we considered to be friends only to be sorely betrayed later on. We have been wronged in our lives as I am sure most of us have. One thing I will say for certain is that neither my wife or I have ill feelings towards anyone who has wronged us.
Why, because we have made a conscious decision to let any wrong doing towards us happen only once. If we live in fear or change our lifestyle because of what someone has done to us, then we hold on to the pain they inflicted on us for eternity. We will not allow that to happen and we continue to be selfless and caring for others. The good out there outweighs the bad and by having the ability to forgive, you see how much good is out there. One of my favorite quotes by Marianne Williamson says it all, “Un-forgiveness is the poison you drink while you wait for the other person to die”
