When the mind and heart are at rest, there exists no past or future. We cannot be resentful and guilt-ridden in such a state. We cannot build future hope and desires, as no energy flows to the illusory concepts of the past or the future at all. The past and the future are constructs of the mind and human conditioning, and both are contained in the present moment. Only the present moment matters. Everything exists in the NOW moment!
Comparing yourself to others can create confusion and distress within you, and you will fail to see the situation as it truly is and you will not see yourself as being truly blessed. Life is far from perfect: we all experience troubles and tribulations, however, it is through our struggles that we grow, ascend, and rise to the pinnacle of indifference towards other people's opinions and those that we have allowed to hurt us. Your journey has been tailor-made for you and only you. Embrace your journey, shift your viewpoint to one of gratitude and apprciation, heal, and realize your true self.
What goes around, comes around. People always like to refer to karma when they have been wounded and hurt, as if karma will be the payback. But karma is really just consequences of previous actions taken. You engage in positive actions, it comes back to you. You engage in negative actions, that comes back to you too. You must learn to walk away from those that have harmed you, to stop being a prisoner to your past and your abusers, to be truly free: this is not a sign of weakness but one of great strength. Take all of that energy you've been using to obsess over the situation or individuals involved, and put that energy--real, tangible and positive, healing energy--into yourself where it belongs. Trust that justice will be served in one form or another, and probably not by your response nor by the response of another, and perhaps not even in this lifetime, but by the response of a loving and just Higher Power that always balances and adjusts the scales of life in a manner that will empower everyone who has the capacity for self-reflection and change.
