 Well said! Reminds me of one of my favorite  quotes: "Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything- anger, anxiety, or possessions- we cannot be free." - Thich Nhat Hanh

 🙏

a lot of resentment comes from the fact you need to give up equity that you built up in the system you're leaving, that's when people become vengeful

 I’ve watched corrupt doctors prescribe heavy painkillers to kids.. hooking them which eventually led to many many drug overdoses and death.  I’ve seen good families be ripped apart because of money problems even though the father worked as hard as possible and came home with “good money” at the end of every week. Most of them never even knew what happened and to this day they blame themselves even though the money was specifically designed to destroy those that didn’t understand the difference between a dollar and an investment. 

My vengeance is solely for them. Letting it go would mean being ok with what was done to them. That’s simply not possible for me. I live for them.  I want to destroy this system for them.

 Their souls have chosen theirs and your soul has chosen yours. We are all connected and at the same time dispersed.

Living what is yours is what creates a union with your soul. Living what is theirs to experience often creates a disconnect, as your jybris/ego suggests to know what is better for them, than them themselves.

Meet them where they are. Be the teacher they are ready for. Else let go.
