Forgiveness is an act within human capability.

Forgetting a wrong is only within the capability of the divine. For the human, remembrance is good. Remembrance, handled properly, leads to wisdom and acts as a bulwark and defense mechanism that can prevent being wronged again.

The following has proven to be a good working, practical definition concerning the process of forgiveness that I have found helpful over the years.

"You'll know when you have forgiven, completely, when you can remember the past without the pain." - Tom Wilson, a great man and mentor.

The pain of it just surfacing unexpectedly. He may be having a bad day, but I feel like there’s more when he starts a small argument. Sets me into a whole different level of anger when I think I’m past it. 🙏🏻 letting the anger go is such a struggle when you’ve been betrayed. It’s just like wadding up a piece of paper. It will never be the same no matter how hard you try to make it flat again.

How do you rid yourself of the pain shock and lonliness afterwards? How do we deal with the other person being in a new relationship with the one they cheated with? How do you get your mind to be positive when you feel empty and lack direction in your life now? I can forgive but I’m stuck with the great amount of pain to deal with on my own. They are not.

Life is a lesson most learnt through experiences and suffering....but don't take it personally as it makes you knowledgeable to avoid those situations...life is not perfect but it's worth living ....

I lost a couple thousand on some work I did. It was devastating. I stewed in it unhealthily for months. What helped me take a step to letting it go is a story I heard from someone else where they lost 10x what I did and they decided to let it go. Instead of wasting energy on hate, it makes more sense to spend that energy on new projects. It still hurts but I'm a step closer to getting over it.

Don’t expect anything in the present or the past either, I expect nothing of you. But I am grateful to receive

[ivetterivtel]

We can´t go around not trusting anybody!.... new people dont deserve to pay for what "old people or experiences" did in someones life...

You can forgive and still have boundaries and move on. But finding out what the blind sports were like what was the red flags we should have seen? And next time notice those things.

[lamia]

Can't agree more! Forgive but don't forget.

[ernabekker]

Forgiving is an act of self-empowerment as you are not longer captured (enslaved) by the hurt rhe other person had caused.

Sunana chahu bhi to kise sunata, batana chahu bhi to kise batata, subah se sham sab toh tere naam kri thi maine, na dost na ghr, bs tum hi toh gurur the mere. Dhoka dekr bhi ego itna tha ki jaise sb meri wajh ho, ek ni hazar baar diya. Ab bs saas lene ka bhi mann ni krta. Pr batana chahu bhi to kise batata, sunana chahu bhi toh kise sunata.
