June 24--Bravery

Forgiveness is a virtue of the brave. --Indira Gandhi

     Yes, yes, it is. It takes courage to face the past, accept the circumstances, learn the lessons and then let go.
     One interesting phenomenon I see these days is what appears to be an addiction to drama. I think it can be easier and more pleasing to hang onto the self-righteous drama of past events, the familiar emotional charge and the victim role, rather than to do the internal work to forgive and let go. For many folks, a state of drama is way more familiar and comfortable than a state of serenity.
     Where is your life on the drama-serenity scale? Would it be helpful to move more toward the serenity end? Forgiveness is the key.
