Forgiveness has an open feeling. Or maybe a better description would be to say it feels like a release
the longer I sit with it the less it feels like it has anything to do with the other person. Forgiveness is for me
I uncovered a belief that says that someone else being in the position of having to apologize to me puts me in a position of power. They’ve made a mistake. They are wrong and I am right. This belief, I think, has lead me equate true forgiveness with giving up power, loosing the higher ground.
Now that I think about it, the above belief is pretty common in our society. There are quite a number of people who won’t let others forget a mistake, who will continue to bring up past wrongs
Forgiveness is about letting go. Thoughts of blame and wrong-doing precede forgiveness. If someone is completely non-judgemental then they would have nothing to forgive, would they?
Forgiveness dissolves walls both internally and externally and allows energy to flow once more
