Getting back Life.

To forgive someone doesn’t mean condoning their actions। It just means absolving yourself of the hurt and pain and getting back control over your own life and emotions . It means easing the burden of revenge and hatred from your shoulders and getting on with life.

WHEN you are smarting from pain inflicted by someone, and trying to figure out ‘why’, the most difficult thing to do is the thing they call Divine — to forgive. And yet, try it out. It’s in fact the sweetest form of revenge!

You don’t forgive for another; you do it for yourself — to come to terms with your emotions and to attempt a closure on an episode that refuses to let go of you. If you don’t do that, years later you would still be smarting from an action, stuck in a painful time zone, while the perpetrator of all that pain has moved on and put the incident behind him.

So, rather than him, you are the one living out the consequences of his action! Forgiving someone is the best way of stepping neatly out of that time zone and ensuring that they, rather than you, suffer the fall-out of the episode.
