Forgiveness
What is your understanding of forgiveness? What do you feel or think when you talk about forgiveness? What are you forgiving and what is your reason for that? Do you know exactly what you are forgiving? Are you living in your past?
I am learning that the longer it takes me to forgive, the more it costs me. It has held me captive to a point I’ve felt stagnant and not progressing at all. I was living in my past with that weight on me. The notion of not forgiving that incident, that person, that friend, or whatever it was that required forgiveness, has cost me. I’ve had to pursue understanding so I could forgive. It does not mean I will forget.
The act of forgiveness is like cutting the umbilical cord – that’s when independent life begins. When it comes to forgiving, detach yourself from that dark energy that is imprisoning you. Let it go. Yes, I know that it is a comfortable feeling – the weight of that demon you have created; letting it take leadership in your life. How do you even account for that? Think about it. It doesn’t benefit you.
Forgive and let go. You will be amazed at how good and complete you will feel again. Trust me, it feels good. I can be in love with my life again without worrying about other people’s doings and choices – only my own. That’s my first responsibility and should be yours too.
So yes, let’s talk about forgiveness. What is your understanding of the matter? Share with me/us your experiences and understanding and educate us.
