We must forgive.
Forgiveness is absolutely essential in everyone's life - know it or not.
To be unforgiving is to self-destruct.
Yet it sometimes seems the most difficult thing to do.
Forgiveness can be misunderstood to fuel a form of ego... for one to say 'I forgive you' means that person takes an approach of superiority - meaning they have the power in them to forgive another's misdeeds and wrong doings. Possibly the only 'wrong' that was done was your own perceptions and expectations of what/who the other person should be.
I realize that to truly forgive someone, means that that person doesn't even need your forgiveness.
To forgive someone means you can think of them, and know that they are just fine and okie. There is nothing terribly wrong with them. They are happy. And you are okie with that.
Having forgiven someone, you know that they are okie and so are you.

You are so right about forgiveness Tunks. True forgiveness means letting go and moving on. It is much the same as kindness when choose to be kind to the unkind. Some say forgiveness and kindness are signs of weakness but they actually are the greatest signs of our strength :)
It really is the greatest strength
without forgiveness we are tied to this anchor that holds our potential, preventing us from being the best we can be, making us victim to our own sefishness - surely we make mistakes and are privi to frogiveness from others, so too we must be generous and allow others that freedom.
Thanks for the comment firebird. True words there. forgiveness is our true freedom.
