If a person is insulted or mistreated in any way, his thoughts will lead to anger. Unless, one knows how to observe this anger and deal with it correctly, the anger in this person has no way of lessening and becomes dangerous. The more one continues to feed this anger, the greater the desire to seek revenge. No one has the right to revenge. However, in those who forgive the wrongs done to them, anger quickly vanishes. Then, they can be at peace.

As the Tai-chi student becomes more accustomed to the exercises and more in tune with his body, he will begin to notice a greater awareness of body parts and areas than before. Continued practice will lead to the ability to control this awareness and eventually to control the body in ways unknown to the student before.
Thank you for these words! Yes, I very often have that kind of problem. Sometimes I would even forgive someone for his (her) ‘crime’ personally, but at the same time I feel I shouldn’t… because of law for example… no matter if human, or ‘universal’ – I just feel I should ‘react’ somehow, although sometimes I don’t know how (some things are really complicated – like all kinds of ‘mobbing’ or ‘molesting’ for instance, as people call them). But that kind of thinking can bring a solution: if we know that forgiveness is the highest low… thank you once again. And forgive me my poor English, please! (I hope my thoughts are clear.)
Just my comment…
