Forgiveness II, Contributed By @Olawalium.
…continued… from part 1
Peace is very vital in our life’s endeavour. With the presence of peace, we have this calmness to think things through and achieve things faster with a clear head. I know there are times you need a little bit of ‘chaos’ to get you out of your comfort zone, but there is no denying the influence of peace in a life and this is why our need or desire for peace should override the desire to get even.
Has it ever happened to you before when you have an issue with someone and you wish to get even but as fate would have it, something bad happened to them. You might enjoy that for a few minutes but when reality sets in that his or her life is on the line, we start feeling guilty to the point of saying a word of prayer for such a person.
When people hurt you for whatever reason, it is not about you but about them. You might be sitting next to a broken person and you won’t even know it and when they hurt you, it is a reflection of what they are dealing with on the inside and that is a proof that they need healing, so let your forgiveness heal them.
Learn to forgive people; they need the healing and you need the peace. Never let anyone rob you of your peace, try to guard and guide it jealously. I know there are some unrepentant people who continuously hurt you, but then you need to get to the point where their actions wouldn’t bother you anymore. In fact when you notice such people, you need to keep them at arms’ length. Only people that are close to us hurt us freely, so keep those people at arms’ length. I said forgive them, I didn’t say you have to be close to them again, especially when you see how they react when they hurt you. Watch their fruits before feeding your heart with it.
Forgiveness is necessary as you go through life. Learn to forgive and move on, because if you don’t, they will drag you with them and trust me, there are still many more people that will still hurt you as you move through life, so what will you do? Shut yourself against the world? Absolutely not and this is why forgiveness is more for you than for them.
Thank you for your time.

@communitycoin sir!
If a person shows anger on someone, he does not harm others but harm himself. Lose his mental balance and peace. Forgiving means you are following the commands of the Supreme Father. By showing compassion or mercy, the moral values of a person increase.Great poet and playwright William Shakespeare has also written about mercy that forgiveness is like the drops of rain, in which both the giver and the recipient receive the blessing. The respect of the person increases by asking for forgiveness and showing forgiveness,Mind gets peace, negative thoughts also benefit.

you said right that peace is very important in life. people will forgive but there are some things that can not be ignored. some things go on the heart and get hurts by going. ''thing before speaking'' someone has said the truth. take care of it. sorry if you feel bad about our comments. i beleive in truth. i liked your post at least you talked about reality.
In india we have a saying that those who forgive have better and clear character then those who get forgiveness. Simply by thst logic such forgiveness should apply in case when the wrong doer genuinly feel avout the misdeeds. And the other person realise and jave faith that such thibg wont be repeated. If get repeated number of tines then it is cheating abd spoiling many life.
Firgiving is easy way of firgetting all the bad things in your life . Just to make sure to have a happy and prisperous life. A committed relation must be depedent ob such forgiveness.

Yes, mostly we are hurted from people who are very close to us, we need to put them at arm's length as you said in this post. And if it has happened then we need to forgive them without waiting their apology.
Have a good day @olawalium
