If we feel that someone rejected us, criticized us or was unfair to us in the past, we will see that person as attacking us.This reinforces our fear and we attack back. Releasing the past means not blaming anyone, including ourselves. It means holding no grievances and totally accepting everyone, making no exceptions. It means a willingness to see only the light in others, and not their lampshade. quoting "Jamplosky"
