This is the first step in using the truth as a scalpel: You find that the injustice that created a wound is no longer true, right now, in this moment.

By using the truth, you open the wound and see the injustice from a new perspective.

That is the healing. Three simple points: the truth, forgiveness, and self-love. With these three points, the whole world will heal and will no longer be a mental hospital.
