Punishing Ourselves

 Like the body, memory is neutral. Events or experiences happened. Period. If we are holding hate or resentment over something that happened in the past, it is because we want it to be this way. When we continually bring up those memories of hatred and resentment in our mind, we do so because we believe that punishment is due. We believe that by not letting go, we are amplifying what happened and creating punishment for the person who did this to us. We are creating punishment, but for ourselves.
