Reflecting on my own journey I had to go through some situations in my life, some detachment situations as I call them. I have realized that through this I sometimes had to let go of what was repulsive (maybe a too harsh description) but still dark ... I definitely become attached to some "dark forces" in my life some, resentment and maybe some hatred, but one thing is sure " As long as you seek retaliation, you still cling to your own past.
Some of us still want to take revenge on someone who didn't respect you or just maybe you are still disappointed that you've received no apologies or not even a smile, maybe you've paid for something and didn't receive what you've paid for an you've been unable to resolve the matter, you live with it, along with it, until in silence or that "moment" when nobody can even hear anything else but their thoughts, it's just then when everything returns: bitterness, the hate, the jealousy, the disappointment and the desire of revenge.
Some of us don't realize that these aren't just there, they are in fact treasures that we treasure and don't want to let go off...
Sometimes it seems as though you might lose yourself along with your revenge and hate - So here's what I've gone through.... Don't stand there with balled-up fists, closed to the other who wants to heal you.
One must realize that in sitting there wallowing up all that soreness as if you couldn't do without them, as if, in giving them up, you would lose your very self....
How then have I opened my closed hands?
More of this in my next blog - but " Certainly not through violence, and don't be afraid”
