Holding onto regret and hurt killed several years of my life. While everyone else was moving forward, I was stuck. The idea that we’re supposed to erase pain in order to be virtuous has always felt off to me. True forgiveness, as you point out, is about choosing peace over punishment. Not about denying what happened, but choosing not to be defined by it anymore.

I hope you had a good weekend, Nick.

Happy New week, friend.

Anger or revenge is like holding a hot ember in your fist to throw at the person who offended you. You may hit or miss the other person, but you will burn your hand for sure.
