When people do you harm, it releases a plethora of negative thoughts and emotions. The more love and loyalty you gave the person(s) who did these things, the deeper the spiritual wound. Like wounds of the flesh, if they are improperly treated or not at all, they get infected. The result? Excess weight on the soul that keeps you from enjoying life…depression…mistrust of others…anxiety…oh, and increasing desires for revenge. As long as the memories of their deeds keep you in a depressed place, they are keeping power over you they don’t deserve. This is the trick of the negative. The Other. The Devil. Whatever you wish to call that non-positive force. To use your justifiable anger and pain to convince you that your brand of justice is okay…or just to keep you in a negative head space. This is the spiritual checker move.
As tempting as the aforementioned my be, I encourage you to take the road less traveled. It casts the brightest light. Don’t only forgive those who hurt you, but forgive yourself for falling for it. Thank them for showing you who they are and what they are about. They have unknowingly freed you from their dark clouds and murky waters of malice and deception, and opened the way for sunrays of better people to enter your life. Your energy must remain clean in order to achieve this. In time, they become nothing more than a stepping stone, a footnote in your life story that creates a testimony of encouragement to someone else. As far as justice for you suffering is concerned, Universal Law has that part all under control. This is the spiritual chess move. Shine on!
