Choices You Make
When Relationships End

When not given a choice
what choice do you make.
You learn that you always
have choices to take;
to accept or reject,
to love or to hate,
to forgive or condemn,
to gain strength
or to break.
Its always better
to forgive than
to condemn.
Choices you make
when relationships
end...

.. to forgive or condemn ..

I guess I have learned that to forgive frees me in time, but to condemn is just locking me in to bitterness and reminders of things I would be healthier to distance myself from.

Thank you for the reminder.

A difficult lesson to learn, but once learned, the amount of peace that comes from forgiveness is more than worth the sacrifice.

At least that's how I see it.
