Do not feel ill will toward others. It will only bring negative energy into your life which will fester and grow as you let that anger into your heart. Hunger for revenge, for your pain to be put onto others, only hurts you more. Trust in yourself that you may recover from the pain they have caused and allow yourself to move on. Avina Celeste
About This Quote

You do not have to forgive someone who has wronged you, but instead, you must forgive them so that you can move forward. The only thing that will grow from your pain is a desire for revenge. Take the example of a man who had his hand broken by a bully. The bully must be punished and he will be.

For a moment, though, the man lets his anger consume him and he seeks revenge by seeking to hurt the bully back. In doing so, the man uses his anger as his means of expressing himself and it does not help him. He is still filled with pain from his hand being broken and he feels as though the pain of the break is still present.

It may even spread to other parts of his body as he continues to think about it. In this way, the man is still in pain and he will not be able to move on until he forgives the bully and moves forward.
