My heart goes out to those people i consider my cyber friends here in myLot. I know some of them had been undermined, defamed, insulted to their face, and what more their self-estemmed were smeared by people who just posted lies and trash about them.
Sometimes when it happens to us - we wantd to get back. You hurt me, i'll hurt you! We consider ourselves modern and educated yet in our own actions and relationships with others we are mere savages. Why? we still live in an ancient era where "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth," law abides. I guess, a time will come: we might be living in a sightless and toothless" society sooner than you think.
Let me ask you this? Have you ever remember the time when you've done something bad, and then, you've been forgiven? How does it feel? Freeing isn't? Have you remember the time when someone does you wrong, and you're fuming mad? You could never sleep, you always think of how to get back, some of your peers suffer as well becuase you're so sour, and guess what? you're blood seems to boil at the mention of that name -or when your circles of friends got together, all that you discuss is the meanness of that person. Your friends they might think they help you - by talking against that person, yet the truth is - when you went to bed at night - the resenment is still there...
what do i mean? If you cannot release forgiveness to the person who wronged you - you are the loser. That resentment and anger eats up your health- you'll have insomnia, ulcer, depression and your relations with others affected as well.
But by releasing forgiveness, and i mean not just "forgive and forget," you free yourself and then you also cleanse your soul from a curse! It doesn't matter whether he or she hurts you, it doesn't matter whether he or she is wrong! what matter is - you must release forgiveness to them.
What you gonna do? have someone with you as a witness, go talk to that person, even if he or she does not forgives you - tell him or her. "I know i had been hurt by you for past years, or there might be something i've also done which hurts you also -please forgive me. I also would like to release forgiveness to you for anything you've said and done that hurts me.
You might say, its easier said than done. But i tell you: it can be done! and you are free!
I know that, because I've forgiven the one who murdered my love ones.
Here's something if you're a believer: "If you forgive others of their sin, then God in heaven will forgive your sins, if you don't forgive them of their sins, then God will not also forgive your sins.
"If someone sins against you - forgive them seventy times seven!"
