"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong." Mahatma Gandhi
While there are people that can and would argue that there are offenses and situations that are unforgivable. You may be religious and you may not. But, I have always thought, if God can forgive us, then why can't people forgive? Is the inability to forgive a selfish characteristic? I think it is something that definitely needs to be taught. There is a process to forgiving, I think it is too superficial to say "o.k., I forgive you" and all is forgiven (granted, this might work for some).
However, my experience is, when I don't work through a process then there are feelings and memories that will creep back and it is like experiencing the hurt all over again. It has been my experience that within the art of forgiveness, you have to forgive yourself as well. After your forgive yourself, then you can tackle working through the memories and feelings. If you are holding onto negativity, it will only hurt you. When we continue to hold onto the hurt, it festers and will become toxic, literally, within our bodies. If this is something you are really struggling with, then you should seek professional help (either through therapy or a counselor of some sort). It is hard to let go, keep in mind that everyone is different and unique, we all come from different experiences what you might not even get upset over, I could hold a personal grudge for. So, while it is easy to say 'forgive and forget', I know it's much - much harder to do. It is my personal opinion that the peace from forgiveness empowers me - where if I hold onto something, then that is giving the power over to that person. Until next time or the next... dream ~ K.E.Nowinsky
How true :)
ReplyDeleteFor me to be at peace, I NEED to forgive the person who has hurt me. Many a times, I hunt the person down and try to know the reasons behind his/her actions so that I can understand and forgive them.
Forgiveness gives a strange sense of peace within.

I don't hunt someone down, but I do try to reason as to why or what circumstances could have led to their actions. I guess that's why I went into psychology.

DeleteFirst of all I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't
ReplyDeletemind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my
thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just
trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Thank you!

Thank you! If I am having a tough time getting my thoughts straight, I have found the best thing to do (for me) is to write down (or type out) the main points first (like an outline). I give myself plenty of time to think about the topic too and to do some research if need be on-line. Then, I just sit down and start typing. When I was doing my papers for school I would go through so many drafts. The great thing about writing (until it is published, turned-in, or sent) you can edit! I also learned in my Psych class that if you are having a hard time focusing (because you have too much on your mind) write out what is on your mind first - either by journaling or writing lists. I also learned, that if you are having a hard time focusing your brain, then exercise it by doing crossword or search puzzles. I hope this helps. Thank you for your post.
