LIFE MATTERS: HEALING AND MOTIVATION DAN’S DANDY DAILY POEMS JULE 29, 2013 FORGIVENESS FEEDS VITALITY FORGIVENESS IS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD. IT ONLY ENHANCES ONE PAIN TO SAY, “I SHOULD.” ONE CAN BEGIN A FORGIVENESS JOURNEY THAT CAN BE GRADUALLY FREEING. IT DOES NOT HAVE TO MEAN THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS AGREEING. IT CAN BE EMOTIONALLY DAMAGING TO FORGIVE FACE TO FACE. THE OTHER PERSON CAN BECOME TOXIC AND TRY TO DISGRACE. THEY FEEL OFFENDED OR THREATENED BY HAVING TO ADMIT THEY WERE WRONG. THEY MAY ONLY ATTACK BACK WHICH CAN RESULT IN A SAD SONG. SOMETIMES IT IS NECESSARY TO FORGIVE WITHIN ONESELF. THEN THE OTHER PERSON’S TOXIC PRESENCE WILL NOT BE FELT. A DECISION TO FORGIVE CAN BEGIN A HEALING PROCESS. IT IS NOT A DECISION THAT INSTANTLY PURIFIES THE EMOTIONAL MESS FORGIVENESS CAN BE A JOURNEY THAT IS NEVER QUITE COMPLETELY FINISHED. BUT THE DAMAGE OF RESENTMENT CAN BECOME MORE AND MORE DIMINISHED. FORGIVENESS CAN BE COMING TO TERMS WITH WHAT THE OTHER PERSON HAS DONE. LETTING GO THE STRANGLING, ENTANGLING FEELINGS THAT KEEP ONE STRUNG. IT IS NOT AN ALL OR NOTHING ENDEAVOR. ONE CAN FIND ONE’S FORGIVING MANNER THAT IS CLEVER. IT CAN BEGIN TO PUT THE PAST IN THE PAST. THE STING OF THE HURT OF ANOTHER DOES NOT HAVE TO CONTINUE TO LEAVE ONE AGHAST. EMOTIONAL PAIN CAN STILL REMAIN. THIS PAIN WILL NOT BE THE SAME. IT IS A PAIN THAT YOU CAN FIND WAYS TO COPE WITH WISDOM. FORGIVENESS FEEDS VITALITY AND FREES ONE FROM FEELING LIKE A VICTIM.
