Unforgiveness...
Not forgiving someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die – Anonymous.This is one of the greatest quotes I have read in a long time because you are only hurting yourself by being unforgiving. Your enemies go on with their lives and you poison your own mind holding on to that futile emotion. Just let it go and free yourself from the useless hate that goes with not being able to forgive.
I know very well about not being able to forgive someone for wrongdoings against me. I have held grudges over the years against others and all it did was hurt me in the process. If we can’t forgive others for hurting us we can’t experience true freedom and peace. We don’t know what goes on in other people’s minds and why they do the hurtful things they do.
Just let it and them go and experience freedom. Have a great day everyone.

Forgive, but don't forget.
Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life.....

Lovely blog. . .
I learnt a while ago, that the only way to free myself to feel again, was not only to forgive those who had hurt me ( and some of them i physically approached and asked for forgiveness, for holding the anger in my heart for so long), but more importantly, like Frank said, forgiving yourself.
The relief i felt after that was almost physical.
It was definitely worth the anguish of twisting my mind around the thought of forgiving them
If you hate someone, you are the only person who can feel that hate. And, hate takes so much time, energy and strength to hold onto. With all that going on inside you, how will you ever be able to feel, accept or even recognize love, when it comes your way?
