The thing about forgiveness is that it is a useful key to freedom. when we forgive other people we set ourselves free from hate, bitterness and constant worry about an issue we mostly cannot control. We forgive other people to heal ourselves, we do it so that we can be well, move on and leave the past where it belongs. Sometimes it is very difficult to come to forgive people who have done us wrong or hurt us very badly, especially when they do not come forth to acknowledge the fact that they wronged us. So, how do you do that? I found the answer in on of Mahatma Ghandi's qoutes: " The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong". Now who wants to be a weakling and be stuck in unforgiveness? Definitely not me!
So what happens when the roles are reversed and we are the ones to ask for forgiveness? This is quite a big and sometimes scary step towards your own well being. Everyone with a conscious knows that it is not easy to stay well knowing that there is someone hurting or in pain because our our doing. Just be humbled be the bigger person and ask for forgiveness, even when you do not receive it, you were truly bigger by knowing you were wrong and taking responsibility for that. See the rest remains with the person your part will be done and yet again you will be set free from what ever is haunting you.
The thing about forgiveness is that we cannot live without it...
