Learning from those that hurt you.

Learning to forgive those who have hurt you,
Is an opportunity to practise unconditional love.
To not differentiate favour between enemies and friends,
Is to practise equanimity.
To avoid devisive speech and speak with only kind words,
Is to practise self control.
To attempt to understand the suffering of others,
Is an opportunity to practise empathy.
By standing up for the oppressed,
Is to practise courage.
And to avoid vexatious people and situations,
Is to be wise.
