“Holding on to past wrongs, and looking for an opportunity to ensure that wrong-doers get their comeuppance, is an attitude that fixes the mind in the past, and distorts the present moment. Practitioners should avoid this mind-state. The perception of a wrong having been committed is subjective, and it cannot be assumed that the motivation of the perpetrator is accurately understood. It is best to avoid taking anything that happens in life personally, and to let go of the self-protective justification that might lead to waiting in ambush.”
