Thought Of The Day - Forgiveness

Some people think that forgiveness is overrated. After all, why should we let someone off the hook for wrongdoing? We generally face issues that requires us to forgive someone. But doing so doesn't absolve the guilty person of responsibility for their actions. That's up to them to deal with and manage. We need to be careful that we don't mix up forgiveness with saying that something wrong is okay. Think of forgiveness as giving ourselves permission to let it all go, and to feel good again. We deserve that.

Forgiveness is not meant to reward or soothe the one that needs forgiving. We may believe that by forgiving we'll somehow tell this individual that it's all okay, and that he or she is off the hook. But that's not the case. By forgiving, we can move on and move forward toward better things. It doesn't really matter what the other person thinks; it matters only that our choice makes life easier and better for us.
