How can this be possible?
Good people suffer. Bad people have all the money. Children die of cancer. Murderers get away with it. Perfectly innocent babies are born in Norway, and babies just as innocent are born in rural India. How can it be possible?
My dear, I think you’re mistaken about what kind of world you live in.
Go easy on yourself. You’re clearly still working on ‘forgiving’, and that’s fine. Keep in mind that your forgiveness is not for his sake — you know he’s a bad person and you won’t let him hurt you again. Your forgiveness is about you letting go of stuff that isn’t your business. So what if he’s going to Hawaii? So what if he’s happy? Your resentment only hurts you. Drop it. Every time it comes up, drop it again. Keep dropping it until it stops coming up.
And next time you think of him, don’t say ‘hi’. Nothing good can come of it.
