Forgiveness vs. Revenge

I will never understand how some people can have so much hate in their heart. I will never understand how people can be concerned with nothing but themselves. Was I like this when I was younger? Does your heart and soul soften with age? Do you finally realize that there are people out there that are so much worse off than you and that you don't need to hurt people in order to make yourself feel good?

I am so angry right now. I am so hurt. I am so at the point that I forgive or I seek revenge. Revenge sounds so sweet. It would make me feel better for the moment, but guilty in the end. Forgiveness would make it hurt a little less each day, but it would still hurt. Maybe eventually the pain will go away. How do you forgive someone that hurts you Monday - Friday?

Would my revenge be to forgive? Would that make this person hurt? I don't think so. But, it wouldn't hurt me. I am blabbering on and on. I am sad.

A change needs to be made. Immediately. I will do all I can do to survive until this change happens. My family is depending on me. Revenge is sweet. Forgiveness is sweeter! Like one of my favorite songs says, "I will survive..."
