Personal Guidance
Kuvera is glad: under your grandfather's instruction you've given up an enmity that was very hard to avoid. The capacity to abandon a grievance is rarer than the capacity to nurse one; recognize it where you see it.
Reflection Questions
  • Whose hard-to-release grievance have I successfully set down — and have I honored that act in myself?
  • Where do I dismiss the work of giving up enmity as easier than it really is?
