Not Be

Resentment is a double-edged sword.

You will be resented by those you resent.

Don't trap your mind or your heart in this vicious cycle of destruction and negativity.

I'm anxious to even stop talking about it.

Before you can "forgive" your parents, you should also "PRAY for their forgiveness also."

Unless you were Jesus, you probably made lots of stupid mistakes and pissed your parents off plenty.

YOU MUST honestly feel apologetic FOR YOUR MISTAKES and desire your parent's forgiveness.

The next step requires you to PASS THIS LEVEL OF FORGIVENESS.

Just FORGIVE EVERYBODY and ACCEPT THEM as smart, stupid, ignorant, caring, misguided, lazy...

Now you are free.

Freedom is a Buddhism basic.

Emotions can connect you to your past.

Choose your emotions wisely.

You are in control of your actions.

You are in control of your acting.

Hey! You're an actor.
