Meditation and forgiveness

Sometimes you get cross! it is just part of the process but you have to get over it quickly, really quickly before it steals into your heart and leaves a mark.  You know it has left its mark if, when you think about the person or the event afterwards, you still feel it and maybe don't want to see that person or go to that place.
Meditation helps if you let it, but it isn't any good thinking that just because you meditate, you can hold on to negative emotion, that just means that you are hanging on to your own identity.  And being identified is just what you are trying to get over, you are trying through your meditation to become a passer-by.  You also really want to be friends with everyone, and you need to start by being friends with your enemies.
