250724 What I learned in my studies this morning 5*

Today's Meditation(s):

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh, (ed. By Melvin McLeod), Healing the Past 

It depends on the person though, doesn't it? Most people want peace and would take the chance to repair a past error when presented. Some people are bitter or cruel or scared or so set in their ways that you know, you just know, that if you saw them again and tried to patch things up, they would make it worse. Attacking and making it worse.

So what do I do when faced with trying to repeal the past with such a person?

Accept it. Their emotions and attitudes were never up to me. Certainly not now that they are gone. If I could not change their attitude in life, it won't happen now.

If I let go of the judgment that I am hurt, I let go of the hurt.

So . . . accept it and let go. Commit to being better.

It's still not easy.

But at least I know that there is a path to peace. That brings me on.
