If you weigh the pros and cons of this makeup, if you judge whether you won or lost, if you have even a modicum of thought in your mind that you are making up because you might want something from your friend later and don’t want to antagonize him, will that lead to a true makeup? Of course not. When you want to make peace or make up your differences, you can’t do it through the process of cold calculations. If you are weighing the advantages of making peace against the disadvantages, that means that you are not even remotely ready to make peace. If you want to make peace, make peace. Don’t make peace with prerequisites or conditions. There is no such thing as conditional peace. Or conditional forgiveness. The important thing is to share your heart. If you really think the other person is worthy enough to make peace with, then show the proper respect and don’t start calculating the pros and cons. Start forgiving and making peace. Start listening to your heart and soul.
Only when we light up our True Selves can we create a truly harmonious society. See some articles by Prof Lee.
