" To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you." - Lewis B. Smedes.
I have noticed a increase in how people will blame everyone and everything for the way their life is. It is like glass in my head. I know that I have written some depressing stuff on my blog over the years, I know that I bring up the same people and things...but in doing so, I was able to forgive, wish them well - wish myself well...pack up the past and live in the now.
Daily I send love to those that are no longer in my life. I pray for those who did ill against me, I pray for my soul, for my heart and for God to allow me to love others, as I have grown to love myself.
I was angry for a long time, it just doesn't fit who I am anymore...but, what makes me sad, are the ones who keep bemoaning their misfortune - many years after the event. If a person who caused you pain is still in your life; talk to them! Don't go on-line and beg for people to feel sorry for you. I did this too, but to my friends and family for years. I am surprised that they still talk to me considering how miserable I was, but it taught me to be more compassionate to others. Why is it that I can see so clearly what others are hiding behind?
People don't like change, nor do they like to take an honest look in the mirror anymore. We has a human race have given birth to cowards, cowards to face others, to say how we feel (even though some say too much about how they feel), and the worst of all, is we have become cowards to face our true selves.
It hurts my heart, and I pray that all of us, find in time - the courage to face our true selves.
