Forgiveness

In my opinion forgiveness is a big thing and one that is most certainly complicated.

I believe that forgiveness can definetely be a good thing. Letting go of a grudge and feelings of anger and sadness towards someone can be a big lift off one's shoulders. Forgiveness may allow someone to live more happily and freely with themselves as well as the other person. It may reinstagate an old friendship and allow one to move on with their life. Forgiveness is never a bad thing because no matter what the issue or what the other person thinks or feels you have risen above them by forgiving and letting go.

I strongly disagree with the line that time heals everything. No matter how much time is taken to try and heal and move forward with one's life if the past issue has not been resolved the bitter feelings will still remain. Feelings of sadness and anger towards someone may fade with time but the complete feeling of being healed will never happen if forgiveness is not attained.

As for hatred goes, I don't hate anyone. I feel as though hate is a strong word and must be used carefully. There is a person I strongly dislike but  I shall never hate them. All feelings of anger and hatred come from the original feeling of sadness. I don't see myself forgiving the person that I strongly dislike for a very long time. I am currently content with my bitter feelings towards him and cannot imagine these feelings changing. One day, I hope to loose this grudge but I feel as though this will take a very longtime. Until I confront the issue nothing will change.

 Forgiveness is difficult and takes a lot of inner strength for one to accomplish. Forgiveness ultimately is a good thing and is healthy in order to live happily and free of negative feelings.
