I hate nobody: I am in charity with the world.

— Jonathan Swift

GRATITUDE

WHAT THIS MEANS

Carrying no enmity is a lighter way to live and is mostly a decision rather than a feeling. Hatred requires maintenance, a set of grievances kept current, and the person holding them is the one paying for storage. Letting that go is not a judgment that everyone acted well, it is a refusal to keep hauling the account around. What is being described is peace rather than approval.

Think of who occupies a grudge in your head, and how much of your week they get for free. Stop rehearsing the case against them this week, without needing to forgive or contact anyone.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Who could you stop holding a grudge against this year?

MORE IN FAITH, GRACE & PURPOSE

Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
