My grandfather is an eighty-year-old man. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t families the way they used to be. A lot of families have broken down. If husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks any more: everyone drives. We used to walk five miles to school every day, even in winter. But now they don’t. And in school the children don’ t have to think any more. In math class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide in our heads. Kids don’ t use their heads any more; instead, they use calculators(计算器).
Most families have computers now. In the past we didn’ t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now nobody eats at home and cooks food any more.
And people don’t talk to each other any more. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think...
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t any more.

We’ve all been hurt by another person at one time or another. This pain causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can break relationships, distract (使分心) us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up new things.
We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive (原谅), so we can move on and be happy. Forgiveness does not mean you erase(抹去) the past, or forget what has happened. All it means is that you try to forget the anger and pain, and move on to a better place.
It’s not easy, but if you can take the tips below, you will learn to do it.
Think of the advantages of forgiveness—— how it will make you happier, free you from the past and the pain, and make your relationships and life better.
Try to understand that person. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel later? How does he feel now? You aren’t saying what he did is right, but are trying to understand instead.
Try to think over how you could have been partly responsible (负责任的) for what happened. It doesn’t mean taking responsibility away from the other person, but realizing that we are not victims but participants (参与者) in life.
