Forgiveness is one of the things that people think and agreed on that is important, but it is not easy to practice. It’s not easy to understand why, being hurt, betrayed, or mistreated can leave deep emotional scars. Sometimes, those wounds feel too raw or too unjust to ever think of forgiveness and it makes it hard to do.
But the thing is no matter how much we hurt or feel unjust, forgiveness is always needed. We can forgive but never to forget because forgiveness might seem like a favor we extend to someone who have wronged us, even when we think they don’t deserve it. But if we take a closer look, we will see that forgiveness has more to do with us than to the person we want to forgive. It might seem to us as if we are setting someone else free In many cases, it is more about freeing ourselves from the weight of bitterness, resentment, and emotional captivity that we keep ourselves because of the grudges.
sometimes, we asked ourselves we did we even have to forgive someone that does not deserve it, but let me tell you, we forgive not because they deserve it but because we deserve peace. The person who hurt you might not even acknowledge the pain they have caused and that is because they are not affected in anyway so definitely someone like that will never apologise or change all because we hold grudge and decide to never let go.
We might think holding onto a grudge is like a form of justice to keep the wrongdoer accountable in our own way. But the truth is holding onto anger and resentment keeps us tied to the pain. some people think if you Forgive, you are condoning bad behavior or it's as if you are pretending it didn’t matter, but it is not the same. Forgiveness is about releasing ourselves from the emotional burden of trying to balance the scales so that someone else's actions will not take up space in our heart and mind.
Should We Always Forgive?
For me it Is a yes because forgiveness isn’t about the other person,it’s about you. It’s about you choosing peace over pain, freedom over resentment, and growth over stagnation. some people see Forgiveness as a weakness but if you Forgive, it doesn't mean that you are weak but show your strength. It is you saying, “I will not be held hostage by this anymore.” in a quiet and powerful way.
Forgiveness is not same, and because you forgive doesn't mean you are to reconcile or even communicate directly with the person who hurt us. Forgiveness is a deeply personal process, and it can look different depending on the circumstances. Sometimes, we forgive but choose to move on without that person in our lives and moreover, forgiveness should not be forced.
We have to always forgive in order to feel less anxiety, lower our blood pressure and to reduced symptoms of depression, because we deserve the greater overall happiness and if we choose Forgiveness, it can be one of the most powerful acts of self-care. If we carry the grudges of the past, it can cost us the present peace and hinder our future potential. If we forgive, we are not forgetting or reducing what happens, we just picked what is best for us and that is reclaiming our inner freedom and not allow the pain of the past to define us
