transmit or transmute

All "bad" that's been done to me is a result of past karma. The person who hurt me was hurt by another and the pain continued through them like a conduit into me. The one who hurt them was also hurt by someone before, and on and on it goes. The pain chain could've been set into motion centuries ago.

I can either transmit the pain or transmute it. I can continue the cycle, as ego would compel me to, or finally let this particular cycle of pain come to an end in me. Through understanding that it was only pain firing out of the person and, rather than reacting to it, dissolving it in the light of loving awareness.
