Winning Life

This will hit many of you hard. Beyond doing what you know you should do, you are about to find out why your life is so stressful.

Freedom is forgiving in such a way that we instinctively see that person as if they had never done that thing.

Everything else is found on the scale of bondage. Everything. There are no exceptions, and there never will be.

This, of course, is the only true forgiveness; all other cheap and easy versions betray you there in the darkness where your boasting wisdom lacks, there its thin blade finds every back, its cruel whip enslaves all whose constitution fails the only measure.

If you can’t forgive in this manner, you have surrendered sovereignty to something, to someone. Our options for freedom are fully forgiving or removing ourselves from those who have, or that which has, done us wrong.

When we hold someone’s wrongs over them in anywhere but distant memory, that relationship is already gone; we have been enslaved by them. When we remain where we can not forgive fully due to continued violations of the natural law, that thing has enslaved us.

Vicotry is in fully forgiving anywhere and everywhere possible, or waging war against that which continues its evil toward us.
