Forgiveness unites family

in Project HOPE5 months ago

There are a lot of things that I strongly believe is happening in our respective families which should not be so. Someone once said that the word I am so sorry is so powerful just that a lot of us does not realise the true power in it. Today I will be sharing my own view about today contest which you can see in the topic above and to share with us what I think about unforgiviness and not only that but also how living in harmony and peace is crucial for every family.

I have seen a whole lot of families who have issues that should not have had issues if only they have pay careful attention to what is happening in the family and if only they have learn the act of forgiviness quick enough. What do I really mean by that. On several occasions, I have been made to forgive people even though it is actually difficult for me but at the end of the day and for me to have peace of mind, i always make sure I let go of people from my mind.

Now back to the main thing I really want to discuss today in my post. Just like it was stated in the entry post, Forgiveness is something that is not common in our world today because most of the time, people always do not see the need to do so.
One of the reason is people did not want to be seen as a coward. What do I mean by that.

Most times our society has painted this picture that whenever you are forgiving someone, you are seen as the weakling, you are seen as the weak one emotionally and you are seen as the one less matured which is actually not true. In fact I have come to discover that is not true like I said. That you let go or you forgive someone to me, I always see you as even been strong. Strong as how? That means you are so strong to control your emotions instead of letting your emotions control you.

Most of the time people who always find it hard to forgive, it is because they can't control their emotions and so instead they allow their emotions to control them. They allow their emotions to dictate to them what to do and most of the time in situations where people offend you, your emotions will always detect to you not to forgive because human beings naturally are designed to see that they are the one in charge.

Having this right mindset towards forgiveness has really helped us a lot in our families, in fact most especially me. Growing up I always find it difficult to let go of someone I mean to forgive when someone hurt me. But as time goes on, I actually discover that it is not needed. So most of the time when my other siblings or even my parents offend me, instead of dwelling in unforgiveness, I let go and forgive.

And I will say not only me, I think everyone of us in the family understands this perspective and this has been helping us to grow and perform much more better in the family. It helps us to dwell in unity and self love irrespective of what the person did in the Family. We didn't see ourselves as weakling whenever we forgive, instead we see the person forgiving as someone strong.

I will like to wrap up this discussion here. Thanks for staying with me. I hope you got value.

Forgiveness should be a lifestyle and what we do even if the offender did not apologise for their offences. After all, forgiving someone frees your mind and brings inner peace into you.
Nice piece buddy.
