People find it hard to see that forgiveness is actually for themselves and often cannot see how others forgive such horrible acts. It takes a very strong person to forgive. Thanks for posting.

I have a few things that I regret that seem so minor in comparison to what others have shared. I do agree that feelings of anger and guilt are incredibly energy-draining, and life is too short to give in to them. With family and other loved ones, it's very easy for me to move on. With sometimey-friends, acquaintances and ex-boyfriends, I usually forgive and forget...the person. They simply cease to exist in my world. That sounds harsh, but it definitely doesn't drain any energy from my life when you've completely stopped thinking or worrying about what another person thinks or does (in that case).Yona Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04661104349650032168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3783422181636414562.post-55777718118028480492015-09-27T08:52:05.232-05:002015-09-27T08:52:05.232-05:00I'm just now really getting better at forgivin...I'm just now really getting better at forgiving people.
