Living Kindfully

Say A Prayer to a Stranger

Before you go to bed tonight, say a prayer for that person who was rude to you. I know it is not easy. If I am in your position, I would have curse that person to the deepest part of hell. But I will not ask of you that something that I cannot do.

It is difficult to wish someone who has hurt us well. As we say our prayers or generate good thoughts to others. We dig deep into our souls; we expose ourselves to who we really are. If we still feel angry and hurt, that means we have not healed. Let our prayers and good thoughts be our saviour. Others are just as hurt as us. I understand certain sins are just can never be forgiven. But I hope those are far and few in between.

What we want to achieve is not to love the person who has hurt us, but to be indifferent towards them. At least, we go to bed without the thoughts of hurt and harm.
