Forgiveness?
To have a better life what I think is really needed is a good strategy/approach for dealing with the bad people that you encounter in life.
The best strategy is to have the bad people in the rear view mirror getting smaller. And then maintain a discipline of only having good people around you.
That is not possible in some situations such as divorce with children.
So you need some other strategy. A strategy that serves your children’s best interests as well as your own.
Forgiveness is complicated. It requires explanations. It has authenticity issues. It is wobbly.
Success/happiness in life is goal. Happiness comes from simplicity and sturdiness.
Apathy is simple. Apathy doesn’t require any explanations. Apathy is solid. Apathy is sturdy.
Don’t worry about forgiveness.
Get to apathy.
