Learning to let go of past insults - Shubha Vilas - Ramayana, The Game of Life

Many of us have a habit of repeatedly replaying arguments we've had with people in our minds. Usually, while rerunning these mental movies, we're either feeling angry at the person we argued with, or guilty about the incident.

It seems we believe that mentally rehashing these old insults somehow benefits us.

Of course, this makes no sense. No amount of replaying an old insult in our heads will accomplish anything. However, that doesn't seem to stop us from doing it. In fact, although many of us realize that it doesn't help anyone to constantly relive our painful memories, we can't seem to switch the mental movies off. Some part of our minds seems dead set on winning that old argument, and convinced that running through it over and over will eventually bring it victory.

Ask yourself

What would that really do for you?

Would it make you a wiser or stronger person?

Would it make you feel more loved or accepted?

If you give this question serious thought, you'll see that it doesn’t help in any way.
