Why should we forgive? This is a question that we all ask ourselves in moments of argument, struggle or even in questioning the world. It's hard to forgive, but when we do that we can find peace in ourselves, others and the world. Here are the main reasons of why forgiveness is needed in our world:

1. Learn to forgive yourself.

Taking care of yourself is probably one of the hardest things you can do. Any decent person can care for others, but it takes guts and awareness to look within and seek forgiveness in oneself. The truth is, you are allowed to forgive yourself. In fact, you should do it, often. We are human. We make mistakes and sometimes those mistakes have consequences. But, we cannot control the world. Some things are just out of our control and we must all learn to accept that.

2. Forgive your enemies.

Have you ever heard that it's harder to hate because it takes more energy? Well, it's true. You do not have to get stuck on what someone did or said. You might hear "kill 'em with kindness" as Selena Gomez said in her song, but the best thing to do is to be the bigger person. By letting go of hate for others, you can relieve some stress and sense of hurt that has been pent up from the situation.

3. Find forgiveness in the world.

If we can learn to forgive ourselves and our enemies, then we can begin to forgive the world. We are not a perfect species, but we are a union of humans making mistakes and taking it one day at a time. Life moves at different speeds for various people, but the last thing we need is to hold on to one specific time. We are ever-changing and we must forgive ourselves and others while adapting, especially the world.
