Forgiving someone you truly love is easy.
Forgiving someone you truly hate is, beyond doubt, damn difficult.
It definitely takes the “higher road” to do the latter.
The usual road of revenge is the "lowest road". One shouldn't sink that low.

It is a struggle to walk through that "higher road". But, if you survive it, you're the better person.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

In Happy moments, praise God.
In Difficult moments, seek God.
In Quiet moments, worship God.
In Painful moments, trust God.
In Every moment, thank God.

Basically, to summarize my previous long journal entry, there are more important factors than money. Money is not everything, although it is crucially important. What is more important than money? Love, time and health! Money cannot ultimately substitute for those factors or rise above it as love, time and health cannot be bought!
