Just A Thought ~ LEARN TO LET GO

"This is certain, that a man who studies revenge keeps his wounds open, which otherwise would heal and do well."

~ Francis Bacon, English Philosopher-Scientist, 1561 - 1626 ~

To hold grudges, to hate and plan revenge on those who hurt us, requires great energy on our part, and in fact, burns us up like a fire ~ which is just what those who deliberately hurt us want: to see us hurting ourselves for them. There’s no-one who’s not been hurt, but we must go on, without thinking too much about the past. It is hard to love some people, but to hate them only hurts ourselves.

“Hate is not overcome by hate; By love alone it is quelled. This is a truth of ancient date, Today still unexcelled”.

~ GOTAMA BUDDHA ~
