We’ve all heard it a thousand times,“You need to forgive and forget.” But is this truly how we feel? When someone really hurts you, do you still want to forgive that person? Forgiving seems almost unnatural, right? Here are a few reasons why you should forgive someone even if part of you doesnt want to. 1. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was OK, and it doesn’t mean that person should still be welcome in your life. Forgiveness just means that youve made peace with the pain, and you are ready to let it go. 2. Forgiveness is not something we do for others - its something we do for ourselves. Not forgiving someone is the equivalent of staying trapped in a jail cell of bitterness, serving time for someone elses crime. As I wrote earlier, you make the choice to either dwell on the pain cause by others or you want to forgive and move on. 3. Gandhi once said “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. It takes a strong person to face pain head-on, forgive, and release it. 4. Forgiveness isn’t always about others - its also about forgiving yourself. Guilt never makes anyone feel better. So always remember to forgive yourself and move on. 5. To forgive someone is the highest, most beautiful form of love. You might just find that you get a sense of peace and happiness in return :) Do yourself a favor today and forgive those who have wronged you and free your mind and sole of hate. The sad thing about un-forgiveness is that the only person that it is hurting is you because the other person is not even thinking about the situation or you. Give yourself a box of love today and forgive and move on from the hurt that people have caused you. Love David
