Forgiveness is the letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions. - Gerald G. Jampolsky

Forgiveness means letting go of the past.

Our egos motivate us to believe that we will feel more peaceful and happy if we find someone to blame and direct our anger at that person.

As a child
I was told and believed
that there was a treasure
buried beneath every rainbow.

I believed it so much that
I have been unsuccessfully
chasing rainbows
most of my life.

I wonder why
no one ever told me
that the rainbow
and the treasure
were both
within me.

perdonar — sea a un amigo cercano o a toda una sociedad — no elimina la responsabilidad de las personas quienes han hecho cosas que causaron la muerte o infligieron infortunio o dolor emocional; perdonar no significa condonar tal comportamiento. Por encima de todo: perdonar es el proceso de liberarte de la atadura que te mantiene aferrado a los pensamientos negativos que alberga la mente, de curar tu mente y alma.
