Abuse
 |
Many years ago
A young, innocent life
Found herself in a difficult situation
Exposed to constant judgement, criticism, verbal abuse
By a group of her elders -
Her newly acquired 'family'
She endures many years of pain alone and in silence
Does not know whom to turn
She felt the constant intrusion and manipulation
She felt a constant battle against her world
Her reaction is typical of a victim
Ashamed, anger, frustration, blaming everyone
Except herself!
Changes had happened
She studied the nature of minds
She practise mindfulness of Amitabha in silence in their company
She had learned to look at relationships from a different light
She stood still with confidence among all of them
The abusers had lost their power!
She has reclaimed her life!
Many years has passed
All those memories of hurt, pain, rejections
Somehow becomes a vivid dream
She looks at those that cause her pain
They are ordinary people just like you and me
They do have beautiful nature
They want to have a happy life
As you and me
She learns from this valuable life experience
The situation can be changed
By having more understanding of where they come from
By looking at things from their perspective
She can save herself a lot of pain
By having a deeper understanding of Cause and Effect
The memories are still there
The pain is replaced by understanding, acceptance
and some degree of care of their well being
Somehow
The abusers are not to be found!
