After experiencing so many losses and sufferings in my life, and finally being able to start to forgive myself and acknowledge all the emotions that goes through me – sadness, fear, anger, resentment, and the loss of trust…
I am finally starting to be able to understand that we are all suffering and in pain, and we are all trying our best to do the best we can in this world. I am finally starting to be able to forgive them for all of the pain, sadness, anger, resentment and suffering that they have caused me in my life. I am finally starting to be able to have compassion and empathy for what they are going through in their own lives…
Malachy McCourt once said, “Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” I no longer want to continue to drink poison anymore.
As I am beginning to be able to forgive myself, I am finally beginning to be able to forgive others as well…
Blowin’ in the Wind…
Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
Yes, and how many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
And how many years can some people exist
Before they’re allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn’t see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
And how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take ’til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
