Trying to forgive my brother 11/8/2024

I couldn’t sleep well. I felt uncomfortable with what my brother has done to me.

He blamed me that I didn’t take over my dad’s company and position. He thought I had a happy life without the burden. He could have done that too. He is responsible for his life. If he doesn’t like to take over the family business, he could have said no and left the position. If he is not satisfied with his wife and marriage life, he could have left it and changed the situation. But in the reality, he decided to stay there. It was all his decision. He should not blame me for anything.

When my dad dealt with my mom’s inheritance, he said all my mom’s money belonged to my dad, because he was the one who made all the money. I thought it ridiculous idea. It was the solid evidence that my dad never respected and appreciated my mom for her kind support and love to my dad.

Now my brother is doing the same thing. He claims he has the right to inherit all my dad’s belonging because he did all the efforts to let my dad accumulate the fortune.

My brother, you are wrong. You didn’t do everything all by yourself. Your family supported you. Our ancestors supported you. I am a member of the same family. I supported you. I have the right to receive the equal amount with you. It was our late parents’ wish and desire. It is our ancestors’ wish and desire as well. They want you to be fair and nice to your sister. They want you not to be selfish.   

I am feeling angry, sad, and powerless because I cannot fight back to my brother. Even though I hire an attorney, he is not supporting as I wish. I feel being lost. I hate my brother for doing this to me. I wish my brother to go to hell.

My thoughts appeared like this, cussing my brother out. Then I heard my late dad’s voice. He said to watch out what I ask for. He reminded me the old Japanese saying 人を呪わば穴二つ. In English translation, it says People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

I thanked my late dad. He is right. I should not wish for my brother’s bad luck. All I should do is to completely let it go.

I admit it will take some time for me to be able to fully let it go and forgive my brother. I will work on it. And I try to stay positive. All the money that is supposed to come to me will eventually come back to me. All I have to do is fully trust the Universal law, Gods, and all the holy people and spirits. Please give me strength and support me to go through this life challenging event. I want to live my life peacefully without hating anybody. Deep inside, I want to forgive my brother.
