Forgiveness part three : Fear, Anger and a chance of Fury ; how forgiveness changes your emotional outlook, so you can be happy.

All hurt people feel fear, anger, resentment and a strong desire for retribution. You see when you have been hurt by someone, these feelings are natural and normal, for a while. But they are to powerful and all consuming to let them stay a part of your daily emotions forever. They must be processed, the memories stored and you must move on to a new day without those emotions. While the person who hurt you should take responsibility for their actions and accept the consequences. It’s important to pause here. What they deserve is responsibility and the consequences for their actions. What they don’t deserve is to live in your heart and mind forever. Let me explain.

When you have been hurt by someone, you naturally have feelings of fear, anger, resentment and a desire to seek retribution. Those feelings live in your heart and mind, because it’s hard for you to forgive and forget. So you need to look at those emotions first as Chains that bind you. Second, you must realize that these chains are attached at one end to your heart and mind, and at the other end they are attached to the person who hurt you. Please form this visual image: those emotions are chains which bind your heart and mind to the person who hurt you. That means as long as you unconsciously nourish those feelings of hurt, anger and resentment, they are on your mind everyday and intrude into every aspect of your life. Because you can’t let go of those emotions that person continues to hurt you and to haunt you. Those emotions keep the memories of your pain in the forefront of your mind. So that retiring or moving from conscious memory that you think about it everyday to remote memory that you only recall on special occasions never happens.

Until you decide to break those chains and banish those emotions from your everyday emotional lineup, and move those memories into deep storage, those memories of pain and anger will haunt you everyday.They are chains that deserve to be broken, so you can be free of this person. Forgiveness is like the breaker of these chains that bind you. Forgiveness allows you to cut the chains, and forces the memories of the pain, the suffering and the emotions of fear, anger and remorse to leave your mind. Forgiveness allows you to focus on other emotions. Until you break those chains with the breaker of chains called forgiveness, your daily emotional weather report will call for fear, anger and resentment with a chance of fury in the evening. Forgiveness gives you a new emotional weather report; calm, peace and tranquility, with a chance for happiness in the evening.

So do you want to break these emotional chains which are anchored in your mind and in your heart. Do you want to break those emotional chains which bind you to the person who hurt you. Do you think those chains need to be broken? Do you want to be free of this person? Forgiveness is like the breaker of these chains that bind you. Forgiveness allows you to cut the chains, and forces the memories of the pain, the suffering and the emotions of fear, anger and remorse away from the front of your mind and out of your everyday emotional weather report.
