Forgiveness
One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored 26 of varying shapes and sizes filled the bright skies like beautiful birds darting and 27 . As the strong wind blow against the kites, a 28 kept them in control.
Instead of 29 away with the wind they arose against it to achieve great 30 . They shook and pulled, 31 the control string and the long tail 32 them in tow(受支配), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites 33 and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, "Let me go! Let me go! I want to be 34 !" They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction(約束) of the string. 35 , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. "Free at last" , it seemed to say "Free to fly with the wind".
Yet freedom from 36 simply put it at the 37 of an unsympathetic breeze. it dropped ungracefully(不雅地) to the ground and 38 in a wild mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. "Free at last" -- free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown 39 along the ground, and to lodge lifelessly against the first obstruction.
How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversities and restrictions, rules to 40 from which we can grow and gain strength. Control is a 41 counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of his tug at the rules so hard that we 42 soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise 43 enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights, 44 that some of the controls that we may be unhappy under are actually the steadying force that helps us 45 and achieve.

We've all been hurt by another person at one time or another. This pain causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract (使分心) us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up new things. We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy. Forgiveness does not mean you erase(忘卻;抹去)the past, or forget what has happened. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place. It's not easy, but you can learn to do it. Think about the advantages and disadvantages. Think of all the problems this pain causes you, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—how it will make you happier, free you from the past and the pain, and improve your relationships and life in general. Try to put yourself in that person's situation. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren't saying what he did is right, but are trying to understand instead. Understand your responsibility. Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened. This isn't to say you're taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims (受害者) but participants in life. Allow peace to enter your life. As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing. Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up. Title: How to let go and forgive
