CAN WE TRULY FORGIVE OTHERS?

We have all heard it and we have all said it, “I  can forgive but I can’t forget.”

How does one do that? Don’t they both go together? How in the world do you separate them?

If we are are not forgetting what someone or somebody or maybe even a group of people have done to us; how then, can we ever forgive them?

The Universe showed me an example that has helped me greatly.

Imagine your mind is like a library that has millions of books that stores millions of memories. 

It is our library so we can arrange the books in any order or section of the library that we want. The Universe gave me a POG (plan o gram) that would help me arrange the books in the most productive way possible.

At the front of the library the Universe placed books that contained positive thoughts, words, actions, and stories. Unfortunately, when it comes to thoughts that we have every day, experts tell us that 80% are on the negative side. So, with that in mind we have to put those books full of negative thoughts especially when it comes to not forgetting and not forgiving others at the back of the library on the top of those shelves that are hard to reach[jm1] .

So, when it comes to forgiving others in a positive way, make those books easy to get to by putting them in the front of the library or at the front of your memories. Make the negative books full of bitter memories, hatred, jealously, and negative forgiveness at the back of your memory library so that we have to navigate our way through all of the positive thoughts just to get to those unpleasant memories.

Who knows, maybe by the time we arrive at the negative section, we would have forgotten what we were so upset about.

It's the Lost of a Legacy That Matters

BLACK LIVES MATTER, BLUE LIVES MATTER, ALL LIVES MATTER
.
They all are important and have something to say...we need to listen.
Take your pick as to which one is more important...to the group or segment of the population that the above belongs to is most important to them and we need to recognize and respect that.
We owe it to that group to listen...really listen which is what happens when you have dialogue and conversation going.
When we confront each other is when fear sets in; and its hard to have a conversation when both sides are fearful of one another.
Two cases come to mind...George Floyd and David Dorn.
George Floyd was killed by police fighting for his last breath; calling for his mom...haunting.
David Dorn was killed by looters helping a friend defend his pawn shop, left on the sidewalk to die.
Both were black with different backgrounds but the Universe is more concerned with what could they have accomplished...what further legacies could they have left?
What impact could they have left on society and people in general?
That's the legacy that we all have to think about in this lifetime.
Find your own path of legacy and don't be surprised if others are on the same path,
Just remember to keep the dialogue going...you might learn something.
