Forgiveness II.

Forgiving is like freeing a prisoner and discovering that the inmate was you.

As a proposal for a healthy attitude towards received grievances, there is the disposition to forgive or excuse the mistakes of others, which is indulgence.

- For those who are not indulgent, life is a punishment worse than death.

Forgiving consists of deciding to abandon resentments and not feel the offense anymore, thereby being able to remember without pain and achieving peace for oneself and for the offender. This allows one to be free from the suffering that resentment and hatred bring.

- He who forgives stops bleeding from the wound.

- Forgiveness is the only antidote for the poison you have allowed to circulate within you.

- He who forgives no longer feels the offense and regains lost calm.

- Forgiving is doing an internal cleansing, removing the bad that someone left in you.

- The one who forgives ends the tragedy. 

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does change how you feel and think about it, so that it can be remembered without pain, and by losing importance, it no longer consumes as much time. This allows one to focus on building a good future.

- Until you empty your life of everything that torments you, you won't be able to fill it with everything that truly makes you happy.

- Forgiving is looking and walking towards the future without holding grudges from the past.

With recovered peace, health is preserved by making necessary rest possible.

- Forgiveness is medicine for your body and your soul.

- Forgiveness is cocoa butter. 

It also protects relationships with others, which will be more effective and fluid as they develop without the discomfort that resentment produces.

- Forgiveness is a lubricant for social relationships.

Without grudges, one is more capable of loving and making others happy, which is essential for creating one's own happiness.

- If you learn to forgive, you will be closer to true happiness.

- Love, forgive, and forget, is what life teaches. 

Considerations about whether the offender deserves to be forgiven are irrelevant compared to the fact that forgiving stops suffering.

- Forgive those who hurt you not because they deserve it but because you deserve to be free from suffering.

FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

Indulgence, or the willingness to forgive others' mistakes, is essential for a healthy life. Forgiving means letting go of resentments and no longer feeling the offense, thereby achieving inner peace. This release from the suffering caused by resentment and hatred does not change the past, but it allows one to remember it without pain and to focus on the future. Additionally, it improves health and rest. Forgiveness also enriches and protects social relationships, as without grudges, one is more capable of loving and being happy. Forgiving does not depend on whether the offender deserves it or not, but on freeing oneself from suffering.
