A lot of us have been confined to emotional shackles like pitiful prisoners because we've refused to let go and move on. Forgiveness is the key to your freedom:
Forgiveness is a very powerful shield; unsurprisingly, the gullible think it a weakness. Once I forgive you, all your efforts to spite me will be impotent. One who wields the sheer ability to forgive will always be in charge and in control, and will always have a mind well rested and at peace. On the other hand, those incapable of forgiveness are like warriors that go into battle with nothing but bathing suits on - they have no defense. So the littlest of attempts to spite them will ALWAYS be successful.
If you have a doctorate in malice, you'll always remain a slave to masters who may not even know you exist. If you want to be free, the key to freedom lies in your hand. Use it!
I agree with you. For one to move on, he/she must forgive whom ever has wronged them. I often tell myself this, if I hold a grudge against someone I am not helping myself but rather punishing myself, especially if the person doesn't know. It will hurt me and might eve deter me from progressing or having fun, while the person is going about their businesses because he/she doesn't know. So at the end of the day I am punishing myself and not the person whom I refused to forgive. Thu, forgiveness is very important. You must let go so that you can grow.
ReplyDeleteYup Henry! I concur. Many people take this for granted. But with experience and wisdom, the importance of forgiveness becomes eminent. It's rather irrational to stay up all night scheming and planning revenge, depriving yourself of some good sleep while your aggressor is having sweet dreams. I believe When we begin to think of forgiveness as an investment that'll benefit us the most, we'll then naturally feel the urge to forgive and strive to move on.
