Those of you who read my articles know that I am very much vested in forgiveness. If you want to enjoy internal peace, if you want the sun to shine on you, if you want to free the pain, learn the art of forgiveness.
Think of forgiveness not as something magnanimous, but more as a gift to youself, allowing you to move on.
Nobody would suggest that it’s easy, nor is it about negating any harm done, or about kissing and making up.
But it’s very much about the release of pain, knowing that you have done the right thing.
Forgiving is better for your health, it frees you up to get on with life, which as everyone reminds us, is short enough.
That being the case, why on earth would you polish your anger instead, and feed your ill-health?
