This needs clarification... People don't forget; and letting go is a "feel-gd" term in an attempt to convince Self that a wrong done no longer bothers us. No. If at some point a wrongdoing no longer bothers you, I'd advise extreme caution~ that could very well be denial. Forgiveness starts with Self- understanding our own hurt. ┅⇆┅ We seek ways of coping with injustice, oft trying increasingly complex methods to "distract" the mind. But like any emotion, ignoring it will only cause it to grow louder over time until quite frankly it drives us nuts. There is no escape... thankfully though, we don't need to. °•Easy does it... Simple and Clean•° ┅⇆┅ We have a choice, each and everyone of us. Do we wish to carry this burden of hurt and anger towards another? Or would we prefer to set that burden down, and be free? ↫┅↭┅↬ Yes!! It's that simple! ↜┅┈┈┈↭┈┈┈┅↝ Noone is making you hold a grudge. Noone can force you to hate. Revenge, or "self-righteous" vengeance is Not a "need"... 'If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.' - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt Here's a pretty useful Rule of Thumb- Is the "wrong-doer" taking up more space in your head than is healthy? If yes- THEN STOP! lolol If no- Then you're most likely well on your way down forgiveness' road. Here's a Mind Boggler for ya- You aren't taking up space in their head. Your grudge is yours! Their life goes on, and trust me, you are not the center of their's. ↫┅↭┅↬ Forgiveness has nothing to do with "Them" ↜┅┈┈┈↭┈┈┈┅↝ ✦The Happy Chart✦ (This applies to forgiveness as well) ✦✦ ✦✦ ✦╒═╕╯╮╭╰✧╔═╕╯╮╭╰╮✦ ✦╭╒╡╔╕╔╡✧╠╕╯╖╒╔╕╭✦ ✦╘═╛╙╮╚╛✧╚═╛╚╡╚╧╛✦ o°o ↫┈┅↭┅┈↬ ✩ Our Goal is Honesty ✦ Our Code is Honor ✦ Our Search is Truth ✩ ↜┅┈┈┈↭┈┈┈┅↝ **As, of course, we are all aware** **I do so enjoy a wee bit of fun** (With my best Elvis impersonation) You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine Well they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Yeah they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine (Some of you may get this, some may not) ~ awno
I pick and choose the things I don't want to forgive very, very carefully. The things I can draw strength from even when I feel bad. But yeah, forgiveness for 99.9% of it all. I'm far too lazy to bother holding many grudges.
I'm not here to preach and pretend I'm a great person on an online game, I'm just exceedingly lazy and use that to the advantage of personal development where I can.
Nice post wolf. Looks pretty Whether or not you like wolf or whatever, his posts are thought-provoking. Live and let live lol
I forgive. Not for them, but for me. Because I don't dwell on someone else's trespasses against me when it is their folly, not mine. I forgive, but I don't forget. They try to kill me, I try to medically experiment on them. Its the back and forth game we play
