Forgiveness

Spiritual masters advice
to forgive and forget
for most of us though
this is a tough ask

A popular film line goes
"How easy to say 'forget'
easier it is, not to be
born on this earth"

Yet not forgiving would mean
pent up resentment
hurt,anger, pain ..
eating into one's depths
a breeding ground
for illness many!

the release frees us
from the burden of
their thoughts, their action
from living & reliving
the unpleasant, over & over again!

Forgiveness then, is not for them
not even because they deserve it
but for our own well being
health, peace of mind...
