FORGIVENESS🌼

Have you heard of the saying hurt people,hurt people? I'm sure most you have and it is 💯 true. Forgiveness involves the art of letting of resentment and the urge to take revenge against the offending person . Forgiving also involves two dimensions:
  1. Forgiving oneself
  2. . Forgiving others.
    Forgiveness does not exactly mean that you should forget the hurt,that the wrong done to you is excusable or that both parties should mend their relationships,no. It however leads to attainment of the feelings of understanding,compassion and empathy for the other party.
    You should not however feel rushed to reconcile with those circumstances or people that offended you. Take the time to heal and when you feel ready you can face them.

    Consequences of not forgiving.

    1. Always or most times, you feel angry and bitter for no specific reason.
    2. You might lose valuable and beneficial relationships and connections with other people.
