It seems that the world we live in is so concerned with political correctness, equality to all, options for upward mobility,rights and civil liberties and all that matters to us humans. Oh and I forgot the big one...The right to have one's own reality show...sorry! Well, miracles happen in very strange ways. Sometimes we don't even know that they are happeening. The hardest one of all and the one that reaps the most rewards is the one that noone teaches us. Oh they say they did back in grade school but they lied to you!Forgiveness doesn't have to be so hard. It is a learned dicipline. Start with yourself. I am sure you can think of a millon things to forgive yourself for. Then start with the ones you love. Here's the important thing about forgiveness...It is a timeless thing. it knows no barriers. So you have to forgive for everything in the past, everything in the present and everything that will happen to you in the future. So the next time you are walking your dog and you see the poop that someone left there for you to clean up, clean it up and forgive them. The next time someone isn't so nice to you, forgive them and say something nice back. Oh hell, while we are at it, let's forgive Charles Manson. Let's face it, the poor shmuck is crazy, had a terrible life on this planet and is just plain doomed. He hurt a lot of people and doesn't even realize it. At least we could forgive him while he rots in prison. By now I think you see my point. I am not a Jesus freak but he said something really cool while up there bleeding to death with nails in him and a giant sword stuck in his side. Forgive them, Lord. For they know not what they do. Yes, there is a lot of pain in this world but we choose most of it consciencely. Yes, most of our pain is chosen by us. Some of us even really like our pain. I don't think that most human beings decide to go out every day and cause a little pain to everyone they meet. Most of it is done unconsciencely and we really don't mean it. So start out each day with this little phrase...I will forgive those today who I meet in my travels for everything they have done, everything they do and everything they will do. After time it becomes automatic and you won't believe the changes you will experience in your reality. You smile when something bad happens, you laugh when someone has done you wrong (you think)and you start seeing things differently. Your own reality begins to change, to take on a new and better shape and you are transformed forever. And guess what? You can never go back to the way you were again. That's the best part of all. In all that time, we can never see or realize the miracles we have caused because we were so busy forgiving everyone it would be impossible for the physical mind to actually see infinity or divinity and if we could we would be overwhelmed with sheer profoundness! It only took me about seven years to perfect that one and since then I have a new perspective on this thing we call life. So go ahead and try to hurt me. I would probably just give you a hug and ask you to dinner. Do you like Italian food?
