Broken Open

As life embarked on its path, the darkness stealthily pursued his prey. Like a captive beast taunted and tempted with a massive piece of meat, he craved to satisfy his hunger. He laid restlessly, eager to unleash his vicious wrath. Scheming and conniving, from near and from faraway, the darkness diligently studied life's moves, waiting for the perfect moment to strike his prey.

I have been practicing the art of forgiveness for a while, but now is when I am beginning to truly get the hang of it all. *happy jig* ┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘ Holding on to anger or hurt of the past shackles one like a slave to the offending individual or situation, thus and such, dear readers, forgiveness is such an important component of inner peace - a tool that one simply must possess in this survival of the fittest battleground.
