Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Forgiveness is the healing of wounds caused by another. You choose to let go of a past wrong and no longer be hurt by it. Forgiveness is a strong move to make, like turning your shoulders sideways to walk quickly on a crowded sidewalk. It's your move. --Unknown Life is an adventure in forgiveness.-- Norman Cousins Being unwilling to forgive, is like like drinking poison hoping the other person dies. Source: anonymous If you are carrying the burden of hate, anger, pain, bitterness over what someone has done to you. I ask you what are you gaining from this state, what are the benefits? What are the losses, what are the missed opportunities you have experience from this state of living? Have compassion for yourself and put that burden down, and feel the lightness of being and see the difference. Mayflower Archipelago For Today -- .... when someone injures you, instead of seeking to get your own back or to repay him in his own coin, you are to do the very opposite -you are to forgive him, and set him free. No matter what the provocation may be, and no matter how many times it is repeated, you are to do this. You are to loose him and let him go, for thus only can you be freed yourself-thus only can you posses your own soul. -- Emmet Fox, Sermon On The Mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
