Chapter 84 Forgive

• Sometimes we lose so many important things by not forgiving in time, or never doing so. This action does not have the same meaning for everyone. For most it involves making the decision to leave anger and resentment behind. You may never be able to forget what hurt you deeply, or offended you. However, forgiveness is not just for who hurt you, it is more for you.
• Who has not been hurt by the words or actions and deeds of another person? There are so many people around you who can hurt you. Your parents, your siblings, your friends, your colleagues and your partner. It's always from a person you trust and who you don't expect would ever do that to you. Which is why we suffer and many of us are filled with resentment, bitterness and anger, and sometimes even hate.
• There is a great reality in life. If you hold on to that pain, that resentment, that desire to cause the same pain that was caused to you, you may be the one who pays the highest price of all. Forgiving can bring you peace and hope, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. So why do we sometimes delay doing it?
