If you have been hurt, you are probably still holding a grudge, feeling blame and resentment. What can you do to start cleansing your heart? You may try to put yourself in our offender’s shoes. Ask: What could their motivations have been? How did I behave before the fact? Might I have had a certain amount of responsibility in what happened? Could I have reacted to the provocation in a different way? Why do I keep thinking about it? These questions need honest answers, and you may start by giving up the need to show that "they" are wrong. In case you harbor jealousy or envy in your heart, ask if you are blaming others for being who they are, for having what they have, while they are simply creating their own lives. Why should you feel as if fate had wronged "you"? Everyone is responsible for his or her own thoughts, deeds, achievements and failures. Finding an answer means finding peace.
