Good afternoon everybody! Today is showing to be a little muggy in Jersey but its all gravy! The topic of today however is a special one, definitely something to really think about!
It never really occurred to me to write a post about something such as forgiveness because I honestly never had to truly forgive somebody for doing me wrong. I'm not saying I have a perfect life without struggles with people, but I've never been in a situation where forgiveness was something to fully focus on...but I'll take a swing at it!
Forgiveness to me is the act of dismaying a wrong which someone has placed upon you, someone your close to, or any other third thing. Here is Googles definition. However, whatever way they define it, the strength that I can imagine someone needing to forgive someone who did an absolute wrong is incredible.
But to put it in simple terms, let's use the two words: letting go. Many people don't know how to let go and that is what is crucial to forgiving another person. People can be ruthless, merciless, and downright nasty. So being able to let go of an action which brought an emotional meteor crashing onto your personal planet takes an incredible amount of inner strength. However, how might you feel if you were able to let go?
Think for a minute. Think about all the mental processes you're taking out of your day to think about how much you loathe somebody. Think about what you could be thinking about which will make your day more productive. Think about the stress you're enduring while the other person is living their life with possible ease.
Its a tough thing to do to forgive somebody...but its the better thing to do. You'll be able to move on with your life with simplicity, less hate in your heart, less stress on your mind, and knowing that they are the ones who will have to live day to day with a pit in their stomach. Build up that inner strength and do what you know is right!
