Forgiveness is often a touchy subject with many people; people can feel very different on this topic. It depends on the person. Some find forgiving to be easy, while others may find it near impossible. People may have to forgive someone for many reasons -- from being cheated on or being talked about in a negative way, to an awful argument. Having to forgive someone often comes with more feelings such as betrayal, hurt, disappointment and shock. Although this may be hard, open your eyes and mind on these three reasons to forgive others.
1. They are human
Everyone is human, and living on this same crazy earth you are. Unfortunately, we do not get a manual when we arrive. So often people make mistakes by not knowing, or thinking, at the time of their mistake. Cut them a break, help them learn from it and move on with life. I bet you have made a mistake once or twice.
2. Sh*t happens
Everyone messes up a time or two. People often do not think when their mistakes happen, they do not realize their actions and how they may affect others or their own lives. Put yourself in their shoes, see how you feel and realize that if it was you, you would want forgiveness.
3. It is right
Forgiveness is the right thing to do. Forgiveness helps you grow as a individual, lover, friend, family member and co-worker. It is the experiences that may hurt the most to get over and move on from that let you spread your wings and fly as a new person.
So the next time you get in a disagreement or a tough situation where you find it hard to forgive someone remember these three things.
