To know
peace,
we must forgive everyone,
no matter what they've
done.
Our instinct when we get hurt is to put up walls...
as a way to avoid more hurt.
But these walls also block love and joy.
Hurt, disappointment, and rejection...
are feelings we all get to experience.
It is not a reason to harden our hearts.
The bliss of loving others...
far outweighs any pain...
we may have suffered in the past.
