Forgiving

Sometimes people ask me, "How can I forgive people who have hurt me?"

Here's a practical suggestion that might help. Make a list of the persons who have hurt you. Then divide t hem into two separate groups - assassins and idiots. Assassins are the people who purposely wanted to hurt you. They were malicious, cruel and intentional. They wanted to inflict pain on you. Idiots, on the other hand, did not intend you harm. They are just insensitive, bumbling fools.

Go ahead and forgive the idiots. After all, they are idiots.

Steer clear of the assassins. You still have not forgiven the assassins, but at least you have narrowed the list.
