Let It Go!

Life is about choices. Who I want to be inside and out is almost entirely in my control. It is true that people can treat us bad, cut us down or even scar us but in the end the choice is ours whether or not the dark parts of someone else's heart cause ugliness to appear in our own life. Have you ever met an old person that has harbored every wrong doing that has ever been done to them? They walk around like a faulty battery leaking a bitter acid. They are no longer themselves. Instead they've morphed into the ugliness of others. How miserable is that?

I know that I really have not had to endure much hardship in my life and I know very little about what it feels like. One thing I am absolutely certain of is that if we aren't careful, we can easily become what we hate in another person or group of people by allowing ourselves to perseverate on the unfairness of what we've experienced.
