Have you ever felt like these two critters in the pictures? You find that while you were running to your destination, the person you thought was on your side was the exact one attempting to hold you back. Because of lies, deceit, secrecy, America does not portray all human beings’ equality. Therefore, America cannot rewrite its past. However, neither does anyone who has been abused; their past life cannot be rewritten. Children who have been molested, women and men who have been raped, or people oppressed through racism cannot undo their past. Does it mean that the perpetrator gets a get-out-of-jail-free card or gets to use the grace card without consequences? God forbid! The victim(s) has got to learn to forgive for the betterment of themselves and leave the consequences, whatever they may be, up to God. The critters in the above picture may never get along unless they agree, so one must choose to separate from the other in order to maintain a sound and healthy mind (New King James Version, 1997, Amos 3:3 and Romans 12:2-3).
Remember, do not give the power of control over to the perpetrator. The lyrics to the song Kiss and Say Goodbye (https://youtu.be/sARlnKk23xw), are from the perpetrator's viewpoint.
