Forgiveness is simply setting down the block you’ve been throwing at yourself.
Self-punishment masquerades as justice more often than we admit. We hurl the same block over and over, bruising ourselves in the name of atonement, as though injury were redemption. But forgiveness isn’t forgetting — it’s realising you can stop throwing.
Weight vs. Release
The block was never the problem; it’s the repetition that hurts. You’ve been both the thrower and the target, playing a game you never needed to win.
The Lesson in Mercy
Forgiveness doesn’t erase what happened; it changes the direction of gravity. When you stop weaponising your guilt, it becomes a stepping stone instead of a projectile. Set it down, and suddenly the floor is steadier.
Practical Guidance
Drop the weapon: You can’t build while you’re busy attacking yourself.
Change the game: Turn the block into foundation, not punishment.
Practise mercy: Treat yourself as kindly as you would a wounded friend.
Today’s Practice
Today, set one block down — and walk away from the echo it made.
