Only when I passed them I could hear one man say "fucking little kid..", and the girl beside kept saying "no, no NOO!" Like he was seriously going to hurt me for walking by?
I lost myself in fear and got inside as quick as I could. Later on, I contemplated my fear, why couldn't I just be like Jesus and the other guys?So I forgave the angry man. Then I started to think about if I would have forgiven him if I was a God-being. A type of being that could turn him into dust just by snapping my finger. I would have, that is at least what I think. I guess that separates the STO from STS.
Until the world changes, there are situations like this. I suggest you learn some self-defense (not so you can hurt someone, so you can defend yourself). At a certain point when I was training in martial arts, I lost all fear of attack. I simply don't have it now. So I never even have to analyze as you did or find a way to forgive. No bad feelings of any sort radiate from me because I am detached--and there is nothing to forgive because I don't become afraid.
