Lesson 89: It Is Difficult...

To hold compassion for yourself may not be so easy if you have hurt someone else. We are definitely not perfect and it’s more than okay to make mistakes. Wouldn’t you say we’re all the same in this regard? People can hurt us just as easily as we hurt others.

If you have hurt someone, do you think that you need to right this wrong? Or should you just release it as a slip-up? I can’t answer this for you but you can look within yourself for the answer.

I think it’s good to apologise but if the moment has truly gone and passed, is there reason to bring it up? I think in some situations, having that closure really helps people and ends a chapter in their lives. If we set it for release, we do need to take the approach of holding compassion for ourselves – accept what you did, accept that we are not perfect beings, learn the lesson and then move forward. We should be beating ourselves up over past mistakes though we should definitely learn the lesson. Apply awareness so you notice what not to do next time to another. You have to open yourself fully.
