Release yourself through forgiveness
In life, it is especially hard to forgive someone who has hurt us so much.
Many people feel that they have the right to be angry and their hatred is justified.
They may lack the awareness that these anger and hatred are doing more harm to them.
They need to break free from their own prison to experience freedom.
Health issue
Rage and hatred are extremely toxic emotions that can affect our organs and natural processes.
Release some anger can be healthy but high frequency of anger especially those explosive type can lead to greater risk of heart problems.
Health problems like high blood pressure, headaches etc can be a result from prolonged anger that can even impair our immune system.
Even though our anger and hatred are directed to others but we can suffer heart attacks and stroke without forgiveness.
Relationship
With constant anger and hatred, there can be emotional instability where we tend to get angry over small matters with people around us.
Since the anger and hatred are constantly weighing on us heavily, we can suffer from mental health issue.
With the increase of poor relationships develop, we develop more anger and hatred with more people and with the things around us.
Without support from family members and friends, we can live in isolation from the rest.
It can be a never-ending cycle that only make our lives miserable.
Employment
People with extreme anger and hatred with everything around them can face difficulty in keeping their jobs for long.
They may constantly face situation leading to bad attitudes resulting in getting fired and losing their jobs.
They may also face financial difficulties leading to great stress in all aspects.
Release yourself through forgiveness
Acknowledge and realise our own anger and hatred without denial
Identify the root of our anger and hatred
Admit it was normal for us to feel anger and hatred but we do not need to keep them through rehearsal of these negative thoughts and emotions.
Seek to see the underlying possible reasons for things we feel injustice about.
Choose to forgive unconditionally since we can see that our anger and hatred cannot do anything except to harm our own health and emotions.
Share our emotions with close friends or professionals.
In conclusion
Release ourselves from our own prison of unforgiveness.
The burdens that constantly ignite negative feelings that affect everyone around us.
We must choose to forgive so that we can find our own peace again.
We can regain our happiness in life when we choose to forgive.

Excellent post Definitely, forgiveness is a great virtue that we must strengthen since it allows us not only to free ourselves from the past, from sorrows or responsibilities with others. The techniques used for forgiveness are many, however, I advise that which makes us reflect on a true learning experience.
