OT: Hopscotch, Well if you could change the past, could you remember to get me 20Mil at .0001?? :)
The only thing you can change about the past is your view of it. You totally have dominion over your thoughts and beliefs. If you are hanging on to any anger, the only person it affects is you. Nobody can 'make' you angry. That's a choice you make. Underneath anger is hurt. Underneath hurt is the desire to love and be loved. Get in touch with that level of consciousness and forgive yourself for judging others as judging you.
To forgive yourself for judging others for judging you is an affirmation and does not relieve the judgments within you. If their action is 'A' and your inner belief that says they should or shouldn't have done the action is 'C,' then in between is 'B,' the judgment as a result of your inner belief. Concentrate on B, the judgment against others, and forgive yourself for that. Not for their action which is after all, your perception. Accepting people as they are, not for how you think they are or want them to be or who they were 5 minutes ago is one of the most challenging, but most rewarding things one can hope to accomplish.
Little by little, you will feel the anger subside and compassion take it's place. Just like no one can make you mad, no one can make you feel better. That's totally within your power. excercise it.
