Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a simple task that can be made difficult. In my personal opinion, I believe that it depends on the extent of someones actions to be able to forgive someone. When someone has wronged you, the easiest thing to do is to hold a grudge - but the most difficult thing to do is be the bigger person, and forgive those who have wronged you.


Maturity comes a long with the overall aspect of forgiveness, but is also related to the actions in which you do to affect someones life negatively. It comes hand and hand, which means actions do come along with consequences. Although it may seem like the person who has hurt you, has wronged you in every way possible - it will shape you as a person and therefore make you a stronger, more independent individual. Forgiveness is part of growing up, and is typically part of growing to understand the depth of the actions in which have been commited. Forgiveness can only fully be understood when you understand ones intentions and reasonings.


Forgiveness is a choice - but a difficult choice. When someone has sabotaged all of the good in your life, do they really deserve to have a second chance? To be forgiven? It really depends on the situation is which you have been put in. In my own personal experience, forgiveness comes with the sense of WANTING to be forgiven. When one continuously disrupts your happiness, and does not remotely feel a sense of guilt - they do not deserve to have the glory of winning your forgiveness. One should be sincerely sorry to earn the satisfaction of being forgiven.
