“The belief that other should not have treated us the way that they did is, of course, the ultimate absurdity. The universe is always working just the way it is suppose to, and so is everything in it, even the things that we have judged to be wrong, improper, cruel, and painful for us and others. Our desire to improve those things is also a part of the perfect universe. How can others not have treated us the way they did? Instead of being angry at the way we were treated, regardless of how horrible we have assessed it to be, we need to learn to view that treatment from another perspective. They did what they knew how to do, given the conditions in their lives. The rest of that stuff that we carry around with us is ours. We own it all. If it is hatred and judgment, then that is what we have elected to carry around with us and that is what we will have to give away to others.”

“You have literally given control of your life to those whom you have judged to have wronged you. Learning to forgive involves learning to correct the misconceptions that you have created with your own thoughts.”
