Thank you
"Pursuing that misery"
Forgiveness takes one person but
Reconciliation takes two people.

[Lukamusic]

The hardest thing is to let go of the ones we love who are brainwashed

[Katherine.Angela]

“Pursuing that misery” perfectly captures it. Nothing helped until I decided to save myself and tell my family member I’d be here anytime he decided he wanted to talk and try to be a family. Also what helped me was to realize that forgiveness didn’t mean I had to keep tying myself to the railroad tracks.

When Jordan says “you have to let go” there is sad compassion in his voice as he taps into what many of us have had to do to family that pursue the hurt.

[chrismccarthy]

You are a beautiful soul Dr. Peterson

I was dedicated to helping a family with their daughter's mental health issue. In the process I realized I was more invested than the family and they actually were looking for someone to just take over and they were cold towards the daughter I was trying to help. That was a shocking yet eye-opening experience. It was as if they really didn't mind things staying the same so I was merely wasting my time and energy. I walked away...

[loistee]

“Pursuing that misery” is perfectly stated. I will be quoting you. Thanks.

The most difficult thing to do is to let go.

[MrJoelymon]

Listening to his shorts is like reading Hemingway when it comes to word choice.
Love watching him pause until the correct phrasing becomes available. "Pursuing that misery" is perfect.

[margaretanderson-ckux]

Very true after years of abuse from someone in my family I had to choose peace in my home .the love is still there but I couldn't stand the pain anymore

[bikerintheblood]

The best thing I ever learned was this lesson, about 25 years ago. My life started to change and today I have no regrets. It’s your life, live it your way with people who are worthy to be called friends.

[joemac]

Learned the hard way I can’t help people that don’t want to help themselves.. I was reading the story about Jesus where he went to an area and it said he didn’t stay there or do much healing there because people didn’t receive him. When he heals he often says, by your faith, you are healed. I realized everything is a choice, if you don’t want healing, goodness, peace, and joy in your life, not even Jesus can do anything for you.. Free will must be so important to God, maybe above everything. So yeah, don’t cast your pearls before swine lest they turn and trample you

[zaygfazinetto]

Yep. 💯 There are people out there who are COMMITTED to misunderstanding you. They don't deserve your explanations; they'll drain your energy... in vain.

[dawnchristine]

Pearls before swine means to me—don’t give yourself away to someone undeserving.

[CoolTaxiDriver]

It’s exceptionally hard…and heartbreaking when it’s your family, and you have children not willing to speak to each other

[lauriemaitiq]

It is best to let go of them people who hurt you and who doesn't listen to you. You are to forgive them but it still have no excuse for their actions.

[darnelljackson]

The best conversations I've ever had with my mom happened after she died. :( She was a wounded, suffering woman who despite 40 years of trying I was never able to reach.

[joshuarichardson]

True a lot of people are so toxic, bitter and darkened you can't get through to them.

[dineomokgosi]

Wow! This is completely heartbreaking to hear. Happened to me with several family members. Though it took me 40 years, I was eventually able to let go, and I am finally at peace. Praise be to God! 🙏🏾❤️

[martinlutherbling]

My older brother complained regularly about his job, more so than we all do. Low wages, no medical or life insurance. I had the opportunity to offer him a job in the Government agency that I worked for. He took the civil service test and was on the list of hires but could be "scooted" in ahead of others. He actually said no. I said you can go from $38k a year to $60k with full benefits and a pension - and he said no. I then told him that I don't ever want to hear him complain about his lack of a decent wage and that he doesn't have medical or life insurance. He continued to complain. and drink. Years, yes years later I had to throw him out. I was becoming physically affected, physically ill, by who and how he is.
