Choose Peace

We have all experienced some level of hurt and disappointment in our lives one way or the other.While some wounds are shallow and relatively easy to dismiss, others run deep, causing some to harbor anger or seek revenge.

Seeking retaliation, rather than forgiveness, traps you in the anger.In fact, some become so consumed by their bitterness that it harms them physically and mentally.An eye for an eye would make everyone blind,so revenge isn’t an option…Let Karma do the work of “revenge”……Have you ever thought if the consequences of revenge? what if it backfires?what if it takes a life?

One thing about revenge is,you can never get enough of it,why not just forgive and choose peace.Put yourself in the shoes of the person who wronged you, won’t you want to be forgiven also?

As Buddha taught, “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

Why burning yourself when you could free the pain from yourself.No one said forgiveness is easy.

The only way offenders can really know the hurt they inflicted is to experience it themselves. So we seek an eye for an eye.But while going through such phrases to get at such individuals why not using such energy to improve and grow for ourselves.

We desiring justice, doesn’t mean we should put ourselves in a situation to be drawn back to the past.

The key is that forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting, nor does it mean approving, what someone did. It just means that you’re letting go of the anger toward that person.

As you learn to forgive understand that there are several benefits to forgiveness.

However, it’s a lot healthier and takes a lot less energy to forgive someone than to hold a grudge and remain angry.It is the right thing to do for yourself and the peace of mind.

In conclusion, A theologian statement says;
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you”
Lewis B. Smedes
