Forgiveness
There are many situations that make us upset, sad, unhappy, hurt, angry or bring tears. It could be because of something someone did or said These situations occur due to our own past karma Now it is up to us to decide - do we want more bad karma? Or end the karma cycle here?
• Do we want to stay upset at that person or practice forgiveness? Forgiving helps us get rid of our own Karma Forgiveness doesn't mean we don't take action. If someone is doing something wrong with us - we should certainly take any action that is required. But while taking that we need to watch/manage our thoughts and mindset.
Am I getting angry? Am I blaming others? Am I wasting my energy with too many negative
thoughts? Am I creating a lot of hurt within me? • If we take any action with these thoughts then we are getting more bad karmas We should forgive those who hurt us and show them more love because they are already in pain Respond and Take Action but without anger, blame, fear, negativity, hurt... We can conquer anger by forgiveness
