For me this has come with age or understanding...
I listen alot to Eminem and he finally says sorry to his mother in his latest album. I feel anger can create motivation...and then the forgiveness sets one free...
This is off the beaten track so just wanted to share...

Just as virtue is its own reward, so is evil its own punishment.

So keep cool, calm and composed.
Karma is the great leveller.

Kameshamg , your post refers to
'Eminem' whoever that is.
So why not say so?
English composition is not your strong point it seems.

It is easier to forgive an enemy than
to forgive a friend.
Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's
despair.

Yeah I've been reading William Blake.... )

Did you know that Mr Blake was a thatcher?
He was a rustic guy, earning his bread thatching barn roofs.

I love his poetry, deep and profound.

They say when he died he had a unmarked grave..was this becuase they were poor in those days and couldnt afford it ,or they thought he was a disgrace or a crazy man?
It doesnt say.His last pic he drew was of his wife which apparently is lost today

Mr Blake was called the Tichfield thatcher.

His couplets are extremely elegant and well constructed with the most amazing rhyme, alliteration and onomatopoeia.

For example:
"The Lamb misused breeds public strife
And yet forgives the Butcher's knife."

Now the modern reader can interpret this as a comment on the hypocrisy of non-vegetarians.

But in his time it referred to Christ's (the Lamb) Crucifixion.
