Who is forgiveness for?
I have learned in life that when someone hurts you physically or more importantly emotionally, forgiveness seems to be the part of the therapy or treatment that people don’t want to accept.
I think for many people they feel that the person who harmed them doesn’t deserve forgiveness, so that’s why they reject the notion or idea of forgiving.
I would say to the people who feel this way, you are both right and wrong. I understand why you feel that the other person doesn’t deserve forgiveness, but you must understand that it is not just for them; forgiveness is for you. I would explain that forgiveness is not meant to heal the the other person, but is meant to heal you. I would say, forgiveness is not meant to help the other person, it is meant to help you.
I would say to you, that has been wronged, you deserve forgiveness, so you can better process that which has been fine to you and begin the process of healing, putting it behind you, moving on and getting on with the next stage or part of your life.
You Deserve These Things:
You deserve freedom from anger.
You deserve freedom from resentment.
You deserve freedom from sadness and despair.
You deserve freedom from the fear of people.
You deserve freedom from the painful memories.
You deserve peace and contentment.
You deserve happiness.
You deserve the healing and peace of mind that forgiveness brings .
Please read, think, weigh my words in the scale of your mind, embrace this idea and move forward in your life to become the best version of you, in the next and hopefully happier chapter of your life.

@shortsegments This is a great share. For me, it is easier to forgive those who hurt me than to forgive myself for letting them have control over my emotions and happiness in life as a whole.
Your welcome and thanks for sharing your feelings :
Humans and emotions are complex and many things are intertwined. A famous American Indian proverb goes something like this: ‘Try not to judge a person until you have walked a mile in their moccasins.”
We never know what others are going through.
I agree with those wise words. Every time I have any negative feelings towards someone because of what society sees as "bad person" I will always ask myself who am I to judge and label this person "bad"? I never went through what they been through in their own life journey, I make peace with myself and always choose love for each other as a human being sharing this world together above everything else.
Most people dont know this but forgiveness makes one light.. And for you to move on faster you have to offload things. Drep post @shortsegments. By the way good luck in your application.
Thank you, that’s a very good point, I will write more about that!
