Reasons For Forgiveness

From My Previous post when I said you should forgive, I did not mean you should forget, because what forgiving really means is doing something good for you. So all in all, forgiving is a selfish act, because you do it to move on in life, to drop the baggage and move forward, to forget the past and the hatred that it gave you. But I not at all mean to say you should forget the lesson you got from that chapter of your life, remember it, and learn from it, but forget once and for all with all your heart so you can free yourself from the burden of remembering, or hating.

Forgiving anyone, including, actually especially yourself, is the biggest favour you can do to yourself, and here is why:
1. Because you need to be free of grudges if you want to live a happy life.





2. You do not deserve to have a thing stuck in your subconscious forever.





3. And you certainly do not deserve to have a foe who was once a friend.





4. Because you know forgiving yourself is the most important thing, even more important than forgiving others.





5. And if you are going to do it, doing it with all your heart would be a great idea.






6. Because saying ‘I forgive’ and feeling it from inside are two very different things.





7. Because forgiving and forgetting are also two very different things and remember, I’m not suggesting to forget.





8. Forgiving makes you the bigger person, and trust me, being the bigger person is a lot better than sulking.





9. Forgive them, because one fine day, they will forgive you.





10. And even if they don’t, remember, in the end it doesn’t matter, you’re not going to be anyone’s friend or foe when you leave the world.





11. The moment you forgive someone, especially yourself, you will start to heal, and you’ll know it.






12. If you’re planning to detach from that one person, try forgiving them and I promise you the detachment will become easier.




13. You’re stuck at that one moment in the past by holding on to that one thing, once you forgive it, it gives you the freedom to move on in life.





14. Because it is not for the one you forgive, you do it for yourself, and nothing else.





15. Forgiveness frees you of the feelings of revenge, anger, and disgust that your weak little heart doesn’t deserve.





16. Because you might be missing out on a great person just because you haven’t forgiven them.





17. Because forgiveness has the ability to change your life, your personality, and everything else.





18. And because God forgives you, you should forget others as well.








So just breathe, forgive everybody, including you, leave it on God, forget the past, lose the load from your heart, feel the lightness, and smile.
