 How to forgive?
I've been thinking about forgiveness today. I feel enlightenment is reached through forgiveness, but let's get real here. What does forgiveness look like on a daily basis?
Everyday, people deal with minor scrimmages with other people...the guy who cuts you off in traffic, the co-worker who stole your project idea, the person who cuts in front of you in line at the supermarket with a cart full of groceries...you get the idea.
What is the best way to deal with these little things. I'm letting myself get dragged down by stupid grudges. When is it better to have a confrontation ("I was standing in line first!), or when do you just let it go.
I'm conflicted because having confrontations could escalate conflicts, whereas not confronting leads to smoldering. Any thoughts anyone?
