Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat. Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources（来源）, as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills（风车）began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind（磨碎）wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the 1940s, when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs. Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

Ryan Howes, a clinical psychologist from California, says "Forgiveness is a sensitive act that can feel like it opens us up to more pain． But we need to have a way to process and let go of the effects of injury, or we risk serious physical and emotional consequences．"

People who forgive tend to have better relationships, feel happier and more optimistic, and overall, enjoy better psychological well-being．   1.   It's a difficult process．

There's no single guidebook for forgiveness, though several experts sell their own methods．

Howes suggests focusing on four elements:

Express the emotion． Let yourself feel hurt and angry． Express it to the person who made you feel that way．   2.   Write a letter; you don't need to send it． Shout your emotions at the top of your lungs while you're in the car, alone, with the windows down．

__3.  We want explanations ?even if we don't agree with them． "Was it a misunderstanding? Were you mad at me? Some sort of cognitive framework （认知框架） is necessary, even if you don't like the reason．"

Rebuild safety．4.   That might mean an apology, reassurance from the person in question, distance or stronger boundaries．

Let go． Perhaps it's the hardest part: making a conscious decision not to hold a grudge （怨恨）．

If you're in a relationship, this means not bringing up past wrongs． By letting go, you give up

your role as the victim and become equals again．   5.

A．Otherwise, talk to a friend or even an empty chair

B．Control your feelings

C．Understand why

D．Before you forgive, you need to feel reasonably sure that the act won't reoccur

E．Still, no one ever said forgiveness was easy

F．It's a promise to yourself to stop feeling hurt and to fully move on

G．You may feel helpless, or like life is meaningless
