Hi Suriel,
I'm so glad you posted that comment about forgiveness. For a long time I could not let go of ill feeling towards a member of my family who made things very, almost unbearably, difficult for me. Slowly but surely am realising that forgiveness is the way forward for this.
It's baby steps for me because of how hard some of the reactions from this person were (sometimes still are) to grasp, but the more I have let go, the happier I have become. Also realising that I cannot control how someone else behaves (nor letting someone else control me) has helped greatly. Holding on to ill will cannot be healthy, more all consuming than anything and looking back I have realised that the harder I have held on to that the harder my life was and the more unhappy I became. That's definitely karma teaching me a big lesson from what I can see... forgiveness and acceptance-and the rest falls into place. Thanks for the post, much appreciated!
