Slacktivism
There are no magic answers, no miraculous methods to overcome the problems we face, just the familiar ones: honest search for understanding, education, organization, action that raises the cost of state violence for its perpetrators or that lays the basis for institutional change -- and the kind of commitment that will persist despite the temptations of disillusionment, despite many failures and only limited successes, inspired by the hope of a brighter future."... Noam Chomsky

Forgiveness

DateFriday, March 6, 2009 at 13:38

Forgiveness does not always lead to a healed relationship. Some people are not capable of love, and it might be wise to let them go along with your anger. Wish them well, and let them go their way.
Whatever happens, forgiveness is good food for your soul.  - Real Live Preacher

I was reading the Real Live Preacher's book again (I've lost count of the number of times I hve read it front to back) and this piece struck a chord with me, a very deep chord. I am slowly letting go of my anger and had stopped telling the story even before reading his essay. Now all I can hope is for the anger to not recur and for peace. I can only hope that they choose to let me go too and not keep repeating this cycle of pain.

Thanks RLP
