Forgive and Forget

"Forgive and forget", we are often told.

I realised that time doesn't heal. The scar is still there. It's a lingering pain. Our brain never forgets. The memories of a lifetime is still as fresh as yesterday.

When we dont' forgive, the hatred will consume us like a toxic emotion. It will drive us crazy and eats up our spirit. Hatred only hurt ourselves, not our enemy.

Until the day I forgive myself, my enemy, and LET GO, I will still be circling like a boat in a whirlpool of misery.

When I LET GO, it cannot hurt me anymore. I can move on like a free bird out of the cage.

Though I cannot control what people do to me, I CAN control how I react, how I feel.

This is my personal power. Why let people control how I feel?
