Stuck on Forgiveness

Is it really necessary?

There are so many interactions that we have with others on a day to day basis. We have interactions with the crossing guard, our neighbors, co-workers, family members, etc. We greet, engage in small talk, have deep thought-provoking discussions and much more.

It’s only normal that some feelings get hurt during the course of these small or big interactions with others.

Despite how hard we try at being the most polite and cordial as we can be, hurting others either intentionally or unintentionally is inevitable. That’s why it’s important to understand the concept of forgiveness and implement it into our lives.

It’s a way of liberating yourself from ill feelings towards another and allowing yourself the opportunity for peace of mind so that you can move forward with your life in a healthy way.

Despite how simple and straight-forward the concept is, it’s a lot harder to implement in real life. That’s why many people hesitate to follow through with forgiveness-related actions.

Over-thinking hypothetical situations leaves us on the fence and prevents us from taking action. Our minds juggle thoughts like “Is forgiving really necessary?” “I bet they’ll laugh at me.” “It wasn’t even my fault.” “They don’t deserve my forgiveness.” which cloud our judgement and ability to do anything to help ourselves through the rough patch.

That’s why it’s important to understand what forgiveness does for us. Once the virtues of forgiving are understood, perhaps it will help pave the way for liberating ourselves from within.

By forgiving, we are letting go of anger or any other kind of negative emotions that we feel towards another human being. We mentally acknowledge that what has happened has happened and it’s time to move on.
