Forgiveness and happiness...

"Forgiveness happens naturally... don't try to forgive, simply notice the grievance and how you feel and let forgiveness happen as you start to become aware of why you are feeling the way you feel. The past has now power to stop you from being present now... whatever you fight you strengthen. Unconsciousness can never be defeated by attaching it. Even if you defeat your opponent the unconsciousness will move into you or the opponent will reappear in a new disguise.

Happiness is ever elusive but freedom from unhappiness is available NOW. Unhappiness covers up your natural state of well-being and inner peace... the source of true happiness."

- Eckhart Tolle
