“Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.” -Jonathan Lockwood Huie Don’t hold a grudge. Being angry at someone hurts only you. Let go of your anger, not for the other person, but for yourself. Remember,forgiving doesn’t mean forgetting. Forgiving means accepting that it happened. As a human being, we tend to look at others fault, not realizing that we are also imperfect. For example, everyone puts the blame on you but they don’t see that they also hurt others. It is where we had to choose between letting go and forgiveness or keep the grudge in our heart and create bitterness. In our lives we should never hold grudges on people for a long period

Your feelings will still remain in you and that person will still be in your heart. Death ends a life, but not a relationship.

Because based on my experience real friends don't get get offended when you insult them. They smile and call you something even more offensiveBut sometimes it is so easy to talk badly about your friends, even those who you are really close to. Sometimes you just get caught up in bashing them, especially if everyone around you is. And it becomes a problem when you don’t confront them about the things you are saying. We need to sit back and ask ourselves, “If so-and-so is my best friend, why can’t I say these things to their face?” This is where you need to really evaluate your friendship with this person do you just have a bad habit of bad-mouthing people or is this a sign that your friendship with them isn’t what you really thought it

    Many people consider forgiveness as a virtue and something desirable. Nevertheless, people define it differently, probably depending on circumstances.

It suggests that unjustified moral injury to a person may cause anger and hatred that can only be overcome through forgiveness.…
