Can I Forgive?

It’s a question which most of us are unable to answer, isn’t it? But why? We think a lot before forgiving and when we do, we feel that heavy pain as we try to forgive somebody who has/have hurt us so much.

It is human nature that a person always feels tough to acquit his/her misdemeanour because we have those hurtful memories and emotions that are really hard to let go, moreover it’s really unbearable to forget what that person has/have done to you or your family. The past is always painful to omit no matter what.

But Hey! It’s not impossible as it seems as Bernard Meltzer said “When you forgive, you in no way change the past- but you sure do change the future”.

You may not be able to change what that individual has/have done to you or how he/she ruined beautiful moments of your life but by forgiving you can save future’s upcoming laughter, joy.

Because if you don’t, you are still holding that pain which is not letting you enjoy and help find your true self.

When you forgive it has that ache albeit, it also has that feeling which gives you sense of freedom.

But it’s not just forgiving them in your mind or heart you have to go and say, show them that no matter what, you are stronger than the pain and just because there nature is to hurt don’t change your nature. Even when it is too hard to forgive; remember “it takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations” by Rupi Kaur.
