Healing anger requires a remarkable display of courage and sacrifice – forgiveness. This act of forgiveness operates through the heart, demanding the release of lingering resentments. It involves relinquishing the grip on memories and the past, even though anger has clouded the future. Such a release can be daunting, as it questions our identity and ego tied to that anger. It's an identity that thrives on blame and righteousness. Our reluctance to let go stems from pain weaving itself into our sense of self and connections with others. However, beneath the pain, you're not defined by the negativity it brings forth. Though we weren't created to hate, we also shouldn't endure abuse. This calls for a choice in who we wish to become moving forward. Remember, those who hurt us were once hurt themselves. This isn't about approving their actions but rather preventing their negativity from hardening our hearts. Life offers a conscious choice between love and hate, bitterness and forgiveness, resentment and peace, and division and unity. Embracing the latter leads to the gradual dissolution of pain's grip on your identity, replaced by the energies of compassion, empathy, and love.
