These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us ______. So you might ask yourself-is it possible to put down this heavy burden (负担) and give yourself a ______? It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live ______ them?

By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to ______ them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief. Instead, there are better ways to handle them. One of the best ways is forgiveness (原谅).

Forgiveness is a powerful tool. We should forgive ______ first. We shouldn’t keep bad emotions inside. We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry. This is not always easy. But ______ we learn to forgive ourselves, it becomes easier to forgive others as well.
