text: John Milton, in Paradise Lost said, "The mind is its own place and in itself can make a Hell of Heaven, a Heaven of Hell."  Thus, we create our own destiny anew in each and every moment.  Bitterness is a thorn deep below the skin of our consciousness that continues to fester as long as we harbor it.  To be free, one must let go of the past and take responsibility for their feelings and their actions.  It is irresponsible to blame one's feelings on another.  Where do the feelings emanate from?  Within ourselves, we create them.  Something outside may be the catalyst for such feelings, but we create them and react to our self-made feelings.  \n     I have a question for your question - why wait until you are dead to find out?  Why not try to be free from our self-created suffering and live in peace right this second?\n\n  As the maxim goes:  To err is human.  To forgive, divine.
