Kindness Is The Power That Moves Us

Gandhi Was Right: If We All Live By 'an Eye For An Eye' The Whole World Will Be Blind. The Only Way Out Is Forgiveness.

Spoken Forgiveness, No Matter How Heartfelt, Works Best When We Do Not Demand The Response We Want. I Mean That When We Tell People We Forgive Them, We Must Leave Them Free To Respond To Our Good News However They Are Inclined. If The Response Is Not What We Hoped For, We Can Go Home And Enjoy Our Own Healing In Private.

Vengeance Is Having A Videotape Planted In Your Soul That Cannot Be Turned Off. It Plays The Painful Scene Over And Over Again Inside Your Mind...and Each Time It Plays You Feel The Clap Of Pain Again...forgiving Turns Off The Videotape Of Pained Memory Forgiving Sets You Free.

If We Say That Monsters [people Who Do Terrible Evil] Are Beyond Forgiving, We Give Them A Power They Should Never Have...they Are Given The Power To Keep Their Evil Alive In The Hearts Of Those Who Suffered Most. We Give Them Power To Condemn Their Victims To Live Forever With The Hurting Memory Of Their Painful Pasts. We Give The Monsters The Last Word.

When I Feel The Joy Of Receiving A Gift My Heart Nudges Me To Join Creation's Ballet, The Airy Dance Of Giving And Receiving, And Getting And Giving Again.
