New game:
Forgive everyone. Just for a moment.
Everyone who has ever done any wrong. Any crime, no matter how severe.
Imagine a scenario in which they are in a hell of their own making; behind bars of fear and hate.
Any words they may have once used to justify their actions have given way to screams of rage, to moans of pain.
Then they become what we all truly are: children.
Look to this sobbing child, scared and alone, not yet aware of the damage and suffering they may cause.
Yet still filled with the deep seeded guilt and shame as if already having done so.
In this moment when they are most vulnerable, most in need of compassion: reach out to them.
Save them before they lose themselves.
Imagine a scenario in which this is possible: to offer complete and utter forgiveness.
Forgive the planet into healing itself.
Forgive humanity into bettering themselves.
Imagine you can. You. Wonderful, stubborn, impossible you. The only one with a heart brave enough to take on sorrow and transform it into love.
Do this, if only for a moment. If only for one person.
If only for you... practice a moment of forgiveness.
If you realize you have an amazing capacity to offer compassion to others: you win.
Bonus points for forgiving someone into positive action and growth.
