I believe everything happens for a reason, or rather, is allowed to happen for a reason.

Logically, it happens bec. it is possible to be so. Thus, we need to practice prudence in our lives. We need to be careful just as much as we need to be good.

On a higher or deeper level, each one is allowed a free will, and the oppurtunity to distinguish good from evil. The Creator does not wish to obligate us. We are to learn for ourselves in order that, we may appreciate Creation and the Creator by our own realisation. Only through this process of gaining genuine appreciation do we learn to really love and thus, be in touch with our innermost. For Love is the innermost of all.

The evil-doer is allowed his or her act that he or she may eventually learn that it was indeed evil, and to then repent. The path of genuine repentance brings one back to the good path.

The good-doer, victim of the evil-doer, is tested. This is to make us stonger. The Creator never left anyone alone. Each is eventually compensated with more, after one passes the test (like Job). It is always a test of love. In this case, that we may be able to forgive. Forgiveness means to let go. There is no other way to deal with the memory of a bad event except to forgive the culprit.

One method that works for me is to understand the cultprit. Once I understand him or her, the event will actually make sense, and the heavy feeling lifts. Do we not easily judge people we don't understand? How to understand someone? Try to put yourself in the other person's shoes. What led to that person's act? It most probably a long unfortunate history. Keep asking why, and tracing cause and effect until it all makes sense. If it's too difficult to understand (understandably for severe cases), try to surrender it all to the Higher Power and, just let go. Try the two methods above. Rinse and repeat as often as necessary until you're free.

It might help even better to talk to someone about it, esp. those with a similar experience in the past. You just probably need that person to only listen, and not necessarily to give advice. If there be no one around for the moment, you can pray or talk to the Higher Power about it.

If you find it hard to forgive, don't blame yourself too much. It's a skill like everything else. It needs practice to become good at it (not that we're looking forward for the chance to practice it). Try practicing to forgive the little things you encounter from time to time, and hope to never get the chance to forgive the big things.
