Where she was going was 　　 on the way to where I was going. It was such a 　　 interaction. But there was more!

When I had　　 what I went for and was waiting at the checkout, the woman behind me said she had a coupon（优惠券）for 50% off any　　 in the store. She gave it to me because she had a（n）　　 one! I thanked her and gave her a　　 card.

They say “what goes around comes around”, but sometimes it is hard to see how that　 as there is often a “manifestation（显现）delay”. Each action　　 a ripple （涟漪）that eventually 　　 back to us, but sometimes it is much 　　 so we forget their connection.

To forgive may be wonderful, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger.

___1___ In­deed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Freder­ic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.

So how do you start the healing? Try following these steps:

Calm yourself. Take a couple of breaths and think of some­thing that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. ___2___ Luskin says, “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean coming to terms with the person who upsets you or forgiving his or her action after your quarrel.

___3___ Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. “Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.” Luskin says.

___4___ If you attach great importance to that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear and even love. To gain others’ stand, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

___5___ Research has shown that people who forgive make a good show of more energy, better appetite and better sleeping patterns.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge." Luskin says, “but it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”

A. Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.

B. Break away from the influence of your offender on you early.

C. But forgiveness is possible —and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.

D. Try to see things from the other person’s stand.

E. So it is difficult to forgive others and even yourself.

F. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

G. Forgiveness is not good of people.
