Be forgiving

Letter February 11, 2020
There will always be those who will try to crush you and take advantage of you.

KARACHI: There will always be those who will try to crush you and take advantage of you. There will always be that person who will make you regret putting your trust in them. There will always be that someone who celebrates your misfortunes. However, while you don’t have a say over how others treat you, you can control how you react to their behavior and to what extent you allow their words and actions to affect your own wellbeing.

So, rather than holding in negative thoughts about a person who has hurt you, try to let it go and move on. Because by gathering and not letting go of the bitterness and resentment inside you, you will only harm yourself in the long run.
