Yeah. And you only have to imagine forgiving. So you can go, I don't want to forgive anybody. I can't believe this guy just did that. Maybe flipped a finger, almost killed you, almost knocked your car off the road. And you might go, I don't want to forgive. I don't. And I get that. And I really do. But if you choose to imagine, just imagine for a few seconds, how would you feel if you forgave it?

I haven't met a person yet who just imagined what it would feel like to forgive, who didn't say back to me, oh, how would I feel if I forgave? I'd feel relieved. I would feel like this weight is suddenly off my shoulders. I no longer have to go out, put myself in harm's way and try and harm them back because of what they did to me.

I can just, in other words, leave the pain of the past where it belongs in the past.

and i'm one of those people i mean i'm really angry when uh when i get cut off you know i'm shouting jerk and and maybe some other words that i want to say right now and that's not the part that that reaction of pain right because what we're perceiving at that moment is

We're perceiving an attack potentially on our bodies because they might have put us in harm's way, but we're also perceiving an attack on our ego, our individuality. We see it as a sign of disrespect, and that is searing pain. I mean, right in your head, it's real pain. You can see that on brain imaging. You can see that area of the brain activating, and your brain needs to do something with that.

One possibility is revenge, but we're now learning that another possibility that is much more enduring, doesn't come with all of the risks, you can do it as often as you want, forgive, as Jesus said, don't forgive seven times, forgive somebody 70 times seven. And neuroscientists would say, well, That's a great idea, not because it's a pathway to heaven or something.

It's a great idea because the more often you forgive, the more you are controlling your pain and healing yourself, and the more often you're taking away that revenge craving, and the more often you're activating your decision-making capacity, self-control, and wisdom.
