If my mouth doesn't say it my face definitely will.
I wonder...Is there a clever way of pointing out that there's a difference between holding onto anger and simply not forgetting the truth?
Absolutely.
We've all been there, right? Trying to keep a poker face while someone says something that just grinds our gears. We might not say anything, but our facial expressions are screaming, "You're full of sh*t" or "I'm not buying it"
Sometimes our faces are just telling the truth. There's a difference between holding onto anger and simply not forgetting the truth. You see, holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It only harms ourselves and does nothing to change the situation. However, not forgetting the truth is simply acknowledging what happened and being honest about it. So, how do we point out this difference in a clever way? Just like a statement accessory can elevate an outfit, a well-placed comment can make all the difference.
It's natural to feel hurt or angry when someone has wronged you. Whether it's a friend who betrayed your trust, a partner who cheated on you, or a colleague who sabotaged your work, it's normal to want to protect yourself from further harm. But here's the catch: holding onto anger and resentment only harms yourself in the long run. It keeps you stuck in the past, reliving the pain and frustration over and over again. It prevents you from moving forward, healing, and finding happiness.
On the other hand, simply forgetting the truth and sweeping things under the rug isn't healthy either. It can lead to feelings of resentment and mistrust, and it doesn't allow for honest communication and growth. So what's the solution? It's all about finding a way to remember the facts without holding onto the anger.
You don't have to forget the truth to let go of the past. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is simply to acknowledge the facts and use them as a tool for growth and empowerment. In other words, it's possible to remember the truth without holding onto anger and resentment. You can acknowledge what happened, learn from it, and use that knowledge to make better choices in the future. Of course, this is easier said than done. Letting go of anger and resentment takes time, effort, and self-reflection. We can start to shift our mindset and find a path towards healing and happiness.
So the next time you find yourself struggling to let go of the past, remember: there's a difference between holding onto anger and simply not forgetting the truth. And with a little patience and self-awareness, you can find a way to remember the facts without letting them hold you back.
If you find yourself in a situation where you're biting your tongue, let your face do the talking. Just make sure it's saying what you want it to say. Keep your head held high and your facial expressions on point.
