"Do Revenge", Shouldn't I?

It is normal to have the idea of revenging on people who dramatically made us suffer. I was not the exception. When I was younger, before practicing mindfulness, I trapped myself in that villainous mindset. I innocently believed that I would feel more relieved if I witness them bear with the same hurtful trauma.

This is the problem! Little did I know that that it was one of the root causes of my broken health and well-being. To answer the question mentioned in the title, I would say a big NO. Because it only drew me back to another similar circle of depression and animosity. The more hatred I held, the more terrible I would feel. Therefore, I want to do a favour for myself by forgiving both my imperfect version and others. Those people who brought trauma into my life, which could be either intentional or unintentional, I declare my forgiveness to all of them. It is not that I am ignoring or engaging with their flaws. On the other hand, I want to allow my mind full rein. Instead of initiating the idea of revenge on other people, I return to my inner self, gently listen and nourish it; additionally, be patient and mindful with the process, give it some time to heal...

Thank you for delivering those obstacles into my life so that I could learn and grow stronger!
