Forgiveness

“They caused the first wound, but you are causing the rest; this is what not forgiving does. They got it started, but you keep it going. Forgive and let it go, or it will eat you alive. You think they made you feel this way, but when you won’t forgive, you are the one inflicting the pain on yourself.” - Bryant McGill

It only takes a brave and strong man to forgive and let go of his pass, no matter how terrible the situation is.

Psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. ... Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, nor does it mean condoning or excusing offenses.

It sounds easy to say I "have forgiven you" but very difficult to ease does feelings. Some would say, I don't forgive easily as if they were given birth to in such manner but it's totally different from that, for one decides his life and how to live it.
Do know that forgiveness plays a great role in improving our life's and health? It'll sound unrealistic how forgiveness does but the truth is that it actually does, I mean it extremely does.
If you take into consideration why you need to forgive and forget you'll discover that it helps in improving relationships with one another. Like my people normally say, if you and your best friend haven't been in a fight then he is truly not your best friend. The more you get to ignore all circumstances and continue in your friendship the more your friendship continues to grow stronger and stronger.
Forgiveness also tends to reduce anxiety and stress, you just had a querral and you didn't settle with whom you had querrals with and eventually you're about to go out the next day and you get to pass the person you mad quarrels with, do you think you'll be feeling comfortable or free? I've experienced it, no matter how free and comfortable you are, the previous event would still occur in your mind and will leave you with no reason to be angry.

Most times, we might not be the cause of the situation but that doesn't mean. in fact, it's really a brave act if we can say, please I'm really sorry from the bottom of my heart, find it a way to forgive and forget when we're not the cause.
