Sound Familiar

Have you ever talked to someone
who on the one hand is telling you
that you need to be more forgiving...
while they...
without much effort tell you
about all the people who had ever
done them wrong...
expressing all the emotions they still carry
regarding each event...
as if they had happened just yesterday.

Have you ever talked to or saw someone who...
was saying what a gossip someone is...
as they themselves are telling you about all the
things someone else is going through.

Have you ever had someone yell at you...
accusing you of doing something...
you never did...
and you try to explain to them who it was...
then after you've told  them...
they yell at you again...
asking if you had proof...
then informing you that you can't just say
someone did something without proof.

Sound familiar?

This. Letting go conveys what words will--fall short to say. Great ponderous sway!
