FORGIVE and let the love in.

Easier said than done right? Sometimes people can do horrible things to you, things that are "unforgivable". What you need to realize is, there is nothing in this world that can be classified as unforgivable. You may think "Well certainly if someone murdered my entire family, there is no way I could forgive for that". To think this would be a mistake. When you hate someone, or carry the burden around of not being able to pardon a certain person or act, who is it really hurting? You are only hurting yourself. Hate, or a distaste for a person or action, doesn't hurt the person/thing you have these feelings toward. Instead it turns your very essence dark.

Do you think if a murderer comes after the people you love, and you hate this person and won't forgive them, that they care? And even if they do care, why would you carry the burden of bad feelings with you everywhere? FORGIVE. As hard as it may be, the way to combat an evil act or person isn't to meet them head-on with evil or hate. It's like a yin-yang, and the only way to battle hate is to meet it with it's opposite; LOVE. Love everyone. No matter how "bad" of a person they may be, and forgive them for their wrong doings. You were not put on this earth to judge, you are here to live. Every person has his or her own struggle, their own demons. So forgive and love and don't let someone else's darkness affect your light.
