A name is imposed on what is thought to be a thing or a state and this
divides it from other things and other states. But when you pursue what lies

Forgive the hurts
"Forgiveness will never fail to free you."
-- Jerrold Mundis
How do we forgive when we're angry and hurt?
As a first step, we can be willing to truly feel our anger and hurt.
Honouring our feelings by being fully present with them helps to release the
feelings themselves.
And it helps to remember that people only hurt others when they themselves
are in pain. When we can recognize the other person's suffering, our heart
can open in compassion. We can also remember that at some time or another,
we too have hurt someone through our own unskilful action.
Only love can heal the rifts caused by a hurtful deed. Forgiveness holds
immense power because it mends separation. It moves us towards the unity and
love that lie at the core of our being. It is a fundamental part of the
healing process.
"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."
-- Paul Boese
"God has a big eraser."

Happiness and suffering come from your own mind, not from outside. Your own
