Double-Edged Sword

Everything I write about deals with self because I believe that if you know how to treat yourself you’ll take on the habit of treating others the same, but emotions get in the way of this at times. If people have done us wrong, made us feel some type of way, or have taken us out of our character it becomes hard for the self to forget those actions placed upon us. Sometimes they will be impossible to forget, which is fine, but it is imperative that we forgive those who have wronged us knowingly or unknowingly, I say this because the built up anger, sorrow or neglect you feel may be playing a part in other areas of your life without you even knowing it. Most of the time we think we are strong enough to just move on from situations without a care, which sometimes we can, but after you’ve done that so many times something is bound to go wrong. You can still be strong and feel hurt, you can still be strong and release your emotions in a mature manner, you can still be strong and forgive those who have wronged you, because afterwards you’ll realize that it was all for the betterment of you. Sometimes we don’t notice it, but the wrongful acts conflicted on us become us if the cycle isn’t broken, and the only way to break the cycle is to deal with it head on. This week I challenge everyone to really think about their issues and where they’ve stemmed from, and to take it upon themselves to deal with them head, not everyone will say sorry to you for the things they’ve done to you, but it is up to you to forgive them with or without an apology.
