PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
told me she was in love with him. Fucking insane bitch!” He now demonstrated great anger and rage. “You could not swallow your pride. Your
pride is more important to you than your love for your brother.” I looked him in the eyes. “So be it”, he said coldly. “Do you love your brother?” I asked
softly.
“I used to… we used to be great mates who did everything together, but now, not any more.” He now looked very sad. His chest caved in, his head hung down, and he looked devastated.
“How can love be ‘used to and not any more’? Love is the only truth of life for humans. Real love never fails, never dies, never turns into anything else because it is the absolute. When a human being truly loves another, this love will always be there. It cannot be broken no matter what happens in life…” I said these words with total conviction, with every fibre of my being. I had tears in my eyes. James was
touched by my intense emotion. He stared at me for a couple of seconds, then his tough, tense face started to soften. A loving embrace shone from his eyes like a torch light beaming out of a dark hole.
I saw a divine opportunity to take James
into his heart now. “James, let me ask you. If you are at the war front, with your brother, will you risk your life to save him from a coming bullet? Give me the first thought that comes into your mind.” He did not see this question coming, but
he responded immediately, “Yeah. I guess I would.” “So you are prepared to die to save
your brother’s life and yet you want to kill him because your girlfriend falls in love with him, as if it is his fault to be loved by someone, as if he deliberately did something to make you suffer?”, I confronted him. “Whatever you say. He is still an asshole. I won’t ever forgive him.”
In hell and drinking poison “Not forgiving him is exactly the same as throwing yourself in hell and drinking poison for the rest of your life. When you forgive someone, you free yourself from hell. Whether you forgive your brother or not does not matter to him. He is out there living a great life. However, it does matter to you. If you don’t let go of this anger, this resentment, this rage, it will take over your life, and give you a life of ultimate misery. Is that what you want? “Your tinnitus is just the beginning, the
first warning. Your tinnitus is the result of the damage your anger and inner rage did to your nervous system. Nothing and
no-one can cure you except yourself.” My tone of voice was very strong. “Can this bloody ringing get worse?” He
is now very concerned. “Of course. It can get much worse. The
longer you hang on to your anger, the worse it will get.” “Bloody hell! You had better do
something to get rid of it.” He is now anxious. “No, James, you had better do
something to get rid of it. It is your ears that are ringing, not mine. You are the one who is suffering, not me.” I deliberately sounded heartless and cold. “I can’t imagine how I can let it go. This
anger sticks to me like shit to a blanket.” “Allow me to correct you here, James.
The anger does not stick to you; it is you who is hanging on to the anger.
