At some point in my life I have felt anger, hatred, and have disliked some people for hurting me so very deeply. Because of the pain I felt and perhaps the humiliation I faced, they were not forgiven. Years rolled by. The emotions remain because as the saying goes “forgiving someone is like peeling an onion…just when you think you’re done, you find there’s another layer to get to”. But then again, is it worth it at all to drag it on to years? Why do I need to live a life full of resentment? This has nothing to do with my ego or pride. It’s the harm done that was too crucial to the extent that they remain in the hook of unforgivable. Now, thinking of the past, I believe the best thing to do is to break down the wall, release the pain, forgive and move on.
Then, there’s another part of me which cries out loud, “Hey, Danem ! you’re far from being perfect yourself.” Haha…so very true !! Yeah, I have done some wrongs in my life too. Some people out there may still harbour anger towards me. I don’t know….could still be carrying a grudge or few. So, it’s only wise that I should ask for forgiveness. Yeah, I’m truly sorry. If I am forgiven, that’s a blessing. The past is the past. It’s all over.
So, let’s forgive and press the “reset” button….would you do the same ? If you can’t now, keep on trying….maybe one day…hopefully one fine day you will find a way to deal with it…and no longer hold anything against those who have hurt you. At the same time, do it at your own will as no one can put pressure on you to forgive and forget. It has to come from our very own conscious effort. When one forgives, it means that one is able to fully heal and move on from the pain. I am moving on. Good luck, my friends. Have a blessed day.
Quote of the day : "Life is really really really too short, to waste time hating anyone.."
