Paul wrote in one of his epistles that we, as Christians, should 'press toward the mark' the finish line of this spiritual race we are in 'forgetting those things' in the past.
Many counselors, psychologists, and like folks, seem to agree that individuals should not live in the past, but live in today with some planning for a future.
In our country, slavery of Africans was a big part of the new world in the 13 colonies. When the United States elected Abraham Lincoln as president, he abolished slavery. So why is there so much antagonism between the African-Americans and the whites?
The white folks today have never been involved in slavery and the black folks today have never been considered slaves. So both races should drop the hatred and live in today and plan for a good future, shouldn't they?
It is a sad thing when people live with so much hatred for the hatred hurts the one who does the hating more than the one who is hated. People who have unsolved hate inside their hearts get sick, stay angry all the time, and everyone in their environment is miserable.
What a way to live!
