Must you freeze yourself in the unfairness of a cruel moment in the past?

Do you want your private world to stand still at that wretched incident in your

irreversible history?

Or are you ready to find a better way?

…it never evens the score.

Fairness never comes.

The chain reaction set off by every act of vengeance ties both the

injured and the injurer to an escalator of pain. Both are stuck on the escalator as long as parity is demanded, and the escalator

never stops, never lets anyone off.

No matter what our weapons are—words, clubs, arrows, guns,

bombs, nuclear missiles—revenge locks us into

an escalation of violence.

The only way to heal the pain is to forgive The only way to heal the pain is to forgive the person who hurt you. the person who hurt you.

Forgiving stops the reruns of pain. Forgiving stops the reruns of pain.

Forgiving heals your memory as you change Forgiving heals your memory as you change your memory's vision. your memory's vision.
