To forgive - it can be easy - be that person.

I have been thinking about the word “Forgiveness’ It’s  such a a spiritual type word that can mean so much, but can also be difficult to understand why it can take a lot to forgive. Especially as when you feel you have been hurt it can cause you  to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you.

Forgiveness is such a difficult thing to do sometimes, especially as the person can feel very angry and aggrieved. Sometimes they can feel let down over some circumstances that may have been out of their control, but it has caused them to feel aggrieved.

To forgive though, is the better option it’s less emotional you may not forget the action, but so long as you can learn why it happened. Maybe look at how you can move on from it. So to forgive is generally the better choice than to feel angry, which can only cause more inner turmoil. 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) they use the “Five element theory” and it has been a part of TCM for centuries. Grief and anxiety emotions can be triggered as result of not forgiving. These emotional in the five elements are connected to the digestive systems, being the stomach and large intestine. So any unresolved forgiveness could lead to health issues in this area.Worth thinking about! 

It takes a stronger person to forgive, but a weak person to never forgive. 

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi 

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong” 

Be that strong person who can forgive, no matter what.
