The following is a mantra I came up with to help myself and others in the process of breaking free from anger towards those who have hurt us.
I hold no anger towards any friend, lover, family member who has caused me great pain by misunderstanding me, disrespecting me, judging me unfairly, treating me poorly, or neglecting me. I forgive them all, including every stranger that has ever slighted me or mistreated me in any way. I forgive their foibles as I remember my own. I trust that their actions came from a place of ignorance, fear, anger, or hurt, not a conscious effort to hurt me, but rather, at least in some cases, to protect or defend themselves as they perceived it necessary. For this reason I have compassion for them. I wish them the same wellness I wish for myself and I will rejoice at their happiness.
