This is so true. I have been reading on philosophy & different concepts for 25 years +. I always got this sense on certain days that - VOILA! This was the truth and then it just vanishes. It's difficult to explain. But it was always fleeting & felt something was missing.
Just few days going thru a tussle - I just said. Let Go!!! Just Go With the Flow. What's the max can happen to you. Death. That's fine. Acceptance is not about setting expectations or not having any expectations. It's just be live in the moment. All philosophies come down to that. It's very simple. But so difficult to implement (at least for me). I am writing this today and tomorrow I might be in the rabbit hole of worry and despair. So be it. But let me not worry and enjoy this moment of bliss & awareness :)
For a very long time - my forgiveness was always with anger. A justification or a logical reason why the other person did what she did. Even now at times I fall in that trap. I am still learning to forgive with love & without any condition. Most of my anger in most times is directed towards me as I think I am responsible for my action. I agree and understand what is written in the article but this change will take time as we are rooted (me at least) in rational reasoning of forgiveness
