Many of us hold on to little resentment（怨恨） that may come from an argument, a misunderstanding or some other painful events．Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—   1     this is the only way we can forgive or   2     a friendship or family relationship．

An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn’t very good, recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years．“Why not?” I asked．She said that she and her son had a（n）   3     about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again   4    he called first．When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she   5    at the beginning and said, “I can’t do that．He’s the one who should apologize．” She was truly   6    to die before reaching out to her only son first．After a little gentle   7   , however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out．To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and   8    an apology of his own．

As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins．Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds．We start to believe that our   9    are more important than our happiness．However, if you want to be a more peaceful person, you must understand that being right is almost never more important than   10    yourself to be happy．The way to be happy is to let go and reach out．Let other people be right．This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong．Everything will be fine．You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right．You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you．
