A wise man forgives but doesn't forget. What I said was not for the sake that it needed to be said, but that I needed to say it. My pride can take only so much anger. I had to let it go. So I did a little raging.
I was never beaten. The fact is, they couldn't beat me by using their fists, so they mocked me at a distance and left me out of the group if I asked if I could join them.
Because as a naive kid, I both forgave and forgot, because I have a pretty crappy memory.
Back then the worst kind of bullying was being left alone and told you were not good enough. I basically grew up bullied. I grew stronger because of it.
However, my pride wont allow me to be bullied again. So, I release my anger towards whoever spawned it and then forgive the person.
It's not a very adult way of doing it, but a pretty healthy way. As for hate. Hate breeds hate. You don't have to be religious to realize that.
