Why you should forgive

When you forgive somebody, a chain reaction occurs. Forgiveness is not for them more so it’s for you. It allows the healing process to begin. It allows you to gain peace of mind. It gives you the ability to move on. Forgiveness is an act of strength. Forgiveness is a sign that you love yourself more than the situation. Forgiveness has nothing to do with forgetting. You want to remember the situation so it will not occur again. At the end of the day you have to remember that life is not promised and your time here is limited. Why waste it on something menial.

Wise words right there! I have always believed that forgiving is more difficult yet more rewarding than keeping a grudge and/or seeking revenge.

Yes, you are correct especially with all the events going on in the world right now. There is no point having added stress especially if you have the ability to control it.
