Revenge never was happiness.
Today I overheard a woman talking about lawyers and suing and winning and losing.
She did not sound happy.
If if she wins it's hard for me to believe that she would be satisfied. Her emotions decide her actions and winning a lawsuit doesn't heal a wound. It's more like the dark sunglasses you wear out trying to pretend like nothing happened.
The world tries to offer these quick fix answers that don't work.
Personal peace involves forgiveness. It involves Christ and his Atonement. It's the only cure that reaches deep enough. That actually cleans... purifies really... instead of covering up.
Bad things happen. Hurtful things. Awful things. Why do we turn to the source that caused them? Instead of falling into the arms that can heal?
He asks us to let go. To keep moving on. To forgive. Others can tumble with others, but we can have peace and be happy in spite.
