Have you heard of Prince EA?
He is amazing and his videos and messages full of hope and inspiration to improve the life you are living.
This video is one of my favourites, as not forgiving people means that you carry around bitterness that affects day to day living. It's like a weight that threatens to pull you through the floorboards at any given moment, or a rucksack so full of boulders it physically hurts to go anywhere.

The message is that if we put ourselves into the shoes of the people that have 'wronged' us or caused us misery, had their upbringing, events that happened to them, thoughts they have had reinforced until they become their 'truth', pain they have felt, would we act and think in the same way? (lots of nodding going on)

It doesn't mean putting up with an abusive relationship, you don't even have to talk with that person again, just let it go, don't let bitterness put you in a prison inside your head.
There is one earth, but there are billions of worlds
The mind of every single person is unique and full of their own truths that any outsider couldn't even hope to fathom.
I have spent many a year trying to work out why certain people think and act they way they do, even tried to change and influence that, but ultimately change is down to the individual person, not someone else.
Thinking about this advice and trying to put myself in their shoes, I may have an inkling of why they acted they way they did. There is empathy there and forgiveness.
Forgiveness is not weak.
It takes a strong and wise person to forgive, to choose to be better, instead of bitter.
You have to remember though, sometimes the person you need to forgive is you.

They are simple too. He puts things in such a way, you think "why didn't I think of it like that before, that makes sense."

I love you expression regarding prince EA video. When we put ourselves into the shoe those that offended us we just have nothing to say or do that to forgive them.
One love... hope for everyone. #youarehope @youarehope

Hell no.
If people hurt you then you get rid of them, the reason why they did that doesn't matter.
What you should ask yourself, however, is why you feel hurt. If you trusted an untrustworthy person that betrayed you in the end for example then you were just naive and got valuable experience from that. Maybe you are just too sensitive in which case you are responsible again.
But such is life, some learn, some don't. The more mistakes we do and the more we do in general the more we can learn.
What matters is not doing the same mistakes again.

If I didn't forgive, I wouldn't be the person I am today. But yes,I won't be repeating some of the mistakes I have made in my life again.
ps. you don't need to keep people in your life if they hurt you, you don't even need to speak or see them ever again, just forgive so they don't keep 'hurting' you for the rest of your life.

I don't care about people that hurt me, no need to forgive. Besides that hate is really empowering. Something most people still don't get because it is enforced into their brainwashed brains that everything slightly violent is bad.

Hate/unforgiveness fills me with bitterness, I can't carry that around inside me, as it physically drains me. So love/forgiveness is the route I choose.
The only way I can see hate as being powerful is if you hate where you are in life enough to make a change for the better, I see no benefit in hating people.
I don't think this is media induced, or part of 'brainwashing'. Far more people hate than love.
People have many views on violence depending on the reasons for it, but that is whole different discussion. It is part of nature, survival of the fittest.

Hate ain't good for women, but it certainly is for men -> Drive for success, power in fights, domination and more.
