61.           

We' ve all been hurt by another person at some time or another—we were treated badly, trust was broken and hearts were hurt. And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain continues for too long. We experience the pain over and over,and hate a hard time letting go. This causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract (使分心) us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up to new things and people. We get trapped in a cycle of anger and hurt, and miss out on the beauty of life as it happens. We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive,so we can move on and be happy. It' s not easy, but you can learn to do it.

62.           

What problems does this pain cause you? Does it affect your relationship with this person? With others? Does it affect work or family? Does it stop you from realizing, your dreams, or becoming a better person? Does it make you unhappy? Think of all these problems, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—how it will make you happier, free you from the past and improve things with your relationships and life in general.

63.           

Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have been thinking, and what could have happened to him in the past to make him do what he did? What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren't saying what he did is right, but are instead trying to understand.

64.           

Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened. What could you have done to prevent it, and how can you prevent it from happening next time? This isn't to say you are taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims but participants in life.

65.
