To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it. ~ Confucius

People tend to remember everything that you said or did bad rather than the good.  People have the tendency to take things that are said in several ways and will pick what you say apart.  Why do people do this?  It is human nature and when you let human nature into your life, this is how you act.  You will find fault in everything around you but will not just let things go and move on.

Human nature is in all of us and we can not let it rule over our lives.  We must move past it and move forward and not keep going back to wrongs or assumed wrongs done to us bu others.  This creates hard feelings and bitterness.  Is this how you want to live your life?

I would rather live my life without all the stress and one-upping all the time.  If people choose to continue on in bitterness and arguing, I choose to not be a part of this in my life.  I don't want to live with strife and arguing all the time.  This is not the way Christians behave in life.  We are to be an example to others.  Today, move on past what ever it is that you are holding on to -- what ever YOU have made into a mountain in your life and be happy.

Enjoy -- the week is almost over.
