I wished them the harshest depths and punishments of hell…
““I wished them the harshest depths and punishments of hell, all of them, but only because the punishment should fit the crimes. I can’t live my life shackled by their past attempts to debase my dignity and honor... They lose; I win! By forgiving and moving forward, whether or not I can someday forget, they stay imprisoned and I bloom in freedom!” -Acceptance 14: Flavor of Freedom””
