In Buddhism we also have Metta meditation.

 

I find

so incredibly soothing.

 

You'll need your speakers turned up, and it lasts around 10 minutes, but I play it every now and then, when my own particular horizon is obscured by storm-clouds....

 

Thank you again Tara. I'm thinking that I already did everything I could think of to bring consequences to the unrepentant AP. If you put the best possible spin on that, my acts could lead the AP to become a better person. To have more wellbeing. I've done what I could. I hope I can stop now and wish for the AP to have wellbeing. I believe that would be a good thing for everyone. I'm crying now and I'm not sure why.

because forgiveness doesn't let them off the hook.

it releases you from suffering.

 

This thread has proven cathartic for you, and has in many ways (thanks to all participants) provided you with further insight into how destructive anger and hatred are.

 

I wish you well, healing and a niche in your heart where you can lodge peace, which will get ever bigger....

I feel the need to see some measure of justice or proper consequences. I know there have been some consequences to the AP. That does give me comfort. If there were more consequences, would I feel more comfort, I think so. For me to be the source of the harm, does not add or detract from the comfort.

 

While you may feel this way, and it IS justified, you are not the person who should be doling out punishment. I saw the other thread about wanting to hurt the AP, but the thing is, be careful... if anyone heard you say that, and then something happened, it could get ugly for you. You don't want to be blamed for anything.

 

The best thing to do is let it go as best you can. Try to repair yourself and move on. I know it's a hard pill to swallow, but it's true.

 

We all get hurt in our lives. We can't just go around exacting justice. We have to believe that the world, universe, god, whatever, will do that for us, so that we can move on.
