Forgiving isn't easy. Most of the times we would feel like the people who hurt us don't deserve forgiveness. They hurt us so bad, you just want them to feel what we feel, of how bad we are hurting. It then maybe turns into hatred, grudge. This grudge then keeps us upset for who know how long, could be until our last breath.Â
Don't you feel tired? Hating, being angry at someone else when maybe the person we hate just don't give no care. They no longer care about our existence and might already be having the time of their life. In the end, the people who keeps the hate, the grudge, who doesn't forgive, will be the one losing more. Losing time for hurting again and again over the same thing. Losing a chance to make a new relationship with someone else. Losing your chance to be happy, genuinely happy.
Please, forgive. It is hard. Everyone knows.Â
However by forgiving, you are actually helping yourself. You're letting yourself be free from whatever it is hurting you. You're not punishing them by hating them. They won't feel nothing. You'll be the one reliving the hurt over and over again. You'll be the one at loss. But once you forgive, you're letting yourself to be happy again. Free from those memories. Free from those pain. Your happiness might become the biggest punishment for whoever hurt you. Your happiness might become their biggest loss.
