True. And forgiving a person/s doesn't mean we condone what they did. The forgiveness is for us and not necessarily for them. It is just a way to move on.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1550123 Forgiveness (of major things) is simply a free pass, pure and simple.
Forgiveness is being weak, having no self-esteem.
Forgiveness means giving up and letting the "bad guys" win.
It is best, imo, to get away from those who've caused hurt and negativity, diss them, forget them, which sends the message that
they are specks of nothing.
NOT forgiving and NOT giving them a free pass is PERSONALLY EMPOWERING and that alone should give one the impetus to "move on" and feel better about himself/herself.
How sad for you to think of other human beings that way. We all make mistakes, but we all have equal value. Please choose to forgive whoever has hurt you. Please make that choice. It will be the best thing you have ever done in your life. Choosing to forgive is the only way to true empowerment.
How sad for you that you could not properly interpret my post.
I stated "major things" because yes, we all make mistakes and minor things that people do can often be forgotten, overlooked, etc. and the offended/hurt person can move past it.
But forgiving someone for doing something more, something cruel, is just wrong and counter-productive to happiness.
You don't believe there are "bad guys"?
You don't believe there are evil, cruel people who intentionally hurt others?
If you don't believe those things, you are not dealing in reality.
And if you believe worthless, cruel, mean-spirited people deserve to be given a free pass . . . then perhaps you should spend some time, introspectively, to figure out why you think bad people deserve goodness when they cause harm.
Sorry you don't have an intellectual and emotional grasp of reality, but there ARE human beings who are absolutely worthless, yes, specks of nothing . . . anyone who denies that simply is not being fair or realistic about life.
