Intrusive thought.. Is it necessary to hate someone in order to forget someone? Isn't realizing that things are not meant to be enough to let someone go? Honestly, I do not know what kind of person I am. Maybe people would judge me wrong here, but I have never hated anyone in my life. No matter how much hurt I have been in the process, I still feel that everyone is right at his/her place. In life,I might have hurt someone intentionally/unintentionally. But I still think I am a good human being because it is the state of my mind and the need of the hour which makes us do or say something that makes the other person feel bad. When I do forgive myself for hurting someone else, why cant I forgive the other person. I am not trying to be Mother Teresa here, nor I am trying to say that you should be forgiving so that that people misuse this and keep hurting you. In clear words, I am trying to say that forgive and let it go. Don't put things in your heart.. if someone broke your trust or did something wrong, understand that thing with open heart and mind, dont trust that person again .. just move on.  Dont repeat the same mistake, dont give another chance if you dont feel right, but let it go. The more you'll keep things in your heart, you'll never be able to move on because in whichever way it is, it is STILL in your heart and mind , even if it is in the negative way. I had read a story long time back which I want to share in brief here. There was a man who went to a saint to find answers to his problems. He said that 20 years before, he was best friends with a man who eventually cheated on him in business. He got broke emotionally, because of his friend breaking his trust and financially, because he lost huge amount of money. He started hating him, which is justified logically. Now, during those 20 years, he always had a revengeful attitude against him. He asked that saint a question :"I hate him to the core. What shall I do to let him down? I have not been able to live in peace during these entire 20 years".
To this the saint replied, " the only way to live in peace is to have him removed from your mind and heart. You think MORE about someone if you hate him.. because he still occupies a portion of your mind.. Whatever he did to you would come down to him eventually. Learn from your mistake what you did 20 years back and leave the things. Even if you take revenge now, that would not give you peace because you would go down along with him.."

Dont know what these words value at this time on this earth for many of us. But, right now, I feel, realizing things and letting go is the best solution to all the problems.. LEARN, UNDERSTAND and LET GO.. :)
