The importance of forgiveness has been taught throughout
the ages. Gary Zukav, author of the book
Seat Of The Soul, explained that
forgiveness does not mean condoning another’s hurtful actions. Forgiveness is about releasing the negative
emotions surrounding these painful events.
When people hold on to resentment and anger,
they will end up being the ‘victim’ in life.
We lose all our power and energy by allowing those who have hurt us to
continue controlling our lives. We will
not be free from anger and will be the one suffering mentally when we are
filled with hatred against someone.
Violence never solves problem. It simply magnifies them. Revenge can never undo damage already done or
being back a life that has been taken from us.
Choosing forgiveness can change our life for the better. We all go through pain, hurt and resentment
on so many levels. Forgiving will get
you free and have a peaceful mind.
