Forgive Someone


Are you harboring a grudge from something silly that happened long ago or just the other day? Drop it. Let it go. Tell yourself that a day or two is long enough to give your emotions the anger they need against the other person; after that the anger is really only turning inward toward yourself.
Shake your head and take a wise and philosophical stance: perhaps that person is just silly; perhaps the person is not too bright; at the worst, maybe the person is bad, downright evil - again shake your head and toss off the grudge.
Even if you don't believe in karma, remember that people who do very bad things make enemies, and enemies do not tend to help us on this earth.
Don't try to seek revenge actively. People really do reap what they sow....eventually. The wise and the philosophical know that much of life is simply a waiting game for the reaper.
Don't let another person's bad behavior cause you more harm by nurturing negative feelings that get turned inward against yourself. Forgive - or if you can't do that - remember that life has a way of evening things out.
