The truth. The truth. The key to the future is the truth. We began to see that the world and its people really dominated us. In that state, the wrongdoing of others, fancy to real, had the power to actually kill. In this book, when they ask a question, they put a question mark. I'm trying to find my experience in there. Does that make sense? So the obvious question, if all that crap is starting to resonate with me, how can I escape, is obvious. I can't hold on to this resentment. How many of you tried to wish away your resentments? You'll say things like, I forgive, but I don't forget. We realized that the people who wronged us were perhaps spiritually sick. Resentment, fear, guilt, shame, remorse.
