Do we live in a world that holds onto every grudge possible?
Is this the general direction our kind is taking?
It’s scary to think that we are constantly creating pathways of hatred, and not of positivity and resolution. The worst thing is that, we do not realize it,we are so unconscious to the theme.
I know I have been taking extra time to forgive people, I don’t want to carry a ball and chain around mentally, especially when we know that life is impermanent. We have to realize that you use so much energy, disliking someone for sometimes comedic reasons. Of course there are some severe circumstances that cause us to suppress thoughts and avoid situations, but you cannot continue like this, compassion is the key, and kindness, even of it confuses the other person. Forgiveness is the only way to release these intrinsic thought patterns.
I myself never had a great relationship with my father, but by finally forgiving him and realizing that he was in an incredibly tough place mentally, stress being a strong component. The feeling was a huge weight off my shoulders, and I carried it through till I was 30, that’s some serious suppression.
Always think of your parents as a lesson in “what” to do and what “not” to do, they are here to guide us but make sure you find your parents patterns also, analyzing life decisions they made and how they dealt with them. Maybe the way you react to things is similar? Always question these things.
Try your best to forgive, you will feel a massive relief if you do, this goes for people who have passed in this lifetime, never hold grudges, just let go. Be the observer of your thoughts and actions, in turn you will become aware. Become aware!
