Forgiveness
Hi Steemians,
I have learned in life that when someone hurts you physically or more importantly emotionally, forgiveness seems to be the part of the therapy or treatment that people don’t want to accept. I think for many people they feel that the person who harmed them doesn’t deserve forgiveness, so that’s why they reject the notion or idea of forgiving.
I would say to the people who feel this way, you are both right and wrong.
I would say, YES, the other person doesn’t deserve forgiveness, but you deserve forgiveness.
I would say, forgiveness is not meant to heal the the other person, but is meant to heal you.
I would say, forgiveness is not meant to help the other person, it is meant to help you.
I would say that you, who have been wronged, deserve forgiveness to right the wrong done to you.
You Deserve These Things:
You deserve freedom from anger and resentment.
You deserve freedom from sadness and despair.
You deserve freedom from the fear of people.
You deserve freedom from the painful memories.
You deserve peace and contentment.
You deserve happiness.
You deserve forgiveness, not the other person.
Please read, think, weigh my words in the scale of your mind, embrace this idea and move forward in your life to become the best version of you, in the next and hopefully happpier chapter of your life.

Hello
You are right, it’s something you don’t want to do, but I can understand what your saying. I guess for me I would exercise forgiveness with empathy, not sympathy or care, then quickly move from empathy to indifference. I guess I would be willing forgive, so I could move from anger to indifference because anger does consume you and start to be who you are, an angry person. I think indifference is a more neutral emotion, which doesn’t command my attention and doesn’t consume me like anger. Thanks for helping me think this through. 👏
Thank you for your comment.

Forgiveness is a kind of thing where we are not just giving a peaceful to other but inside we will be in Peace as well.

Exactly! I agree.

That is very true, forgiving people who hurt you is another way of getting freedom for yourself. My people say "When you hold a man to the ground, you are also holding yourself." If you don't learn to forgive and move on, you are only delaying your progress.
I think the way you said that was very unique.

When we live in hatred, we are bound not to be happy. We must forgive to be free from hatred and let our life's be happy
I agree, I think that is true

Dear @shortsegments
Great choice of topic buddy. This is quite an old post so I'm not even sure if you would still check out your comment section.
To forgive is definetly a very difficult thing. Most of all each one of us should learn about definition of forgiveness. I encountered several times people (including myself) who would believe that we forgived someone, but at the same time we're cutting this person off from our lifes ... just in case.
Is it forgiveness? Perhaps it is. After all I remove negative feelings from my life and I move on. Sometimes Im not sure any more.
Upvote on the way :)
