No matter what has been done to Me I can forgive but how do I forgive when it feels like I am letting the person who hurt me off the hook.
Forgiveness reminds me of that medicine you need a sip of every night
Pain surfaces as anger and resentment and depletion of energy and I end up sick so what do I do?
I am in a position where I'm not courageous enough to forgive I almost feel stuck in my inability to forgive.
But I have to fly forgiveness is that spiritual laxative that I need to survive because I am unforgiving I am blaming casting Judgments and harboring feelings of resentment towards all the people I think hurt me
The truth is I feel these people really did something bad to me but I also feel this is one gift I must give to myself forgiveness.
I find Peace in the truth that everything is as it needs to be so no more being emotionally retarded and spiritually constipated by being unforgiving,yes the Negative ego steps in and tells me a host of things but now I have the courage to say shut the fuck up their are other people hurting because I am unforgiving
I give up this "projection dramatic festival" and let love transform everything
If I don't heal the wounds of my past I will continue to bleed and stain my life and often time "when blood stain summuh wi dash it weh" but in this case I have power in my hands to stop the bleeding.
So I start by giving up the Hope that my past could be everything because truth is life is unfolding as it should.
Maybe I never really understood forgiveness I probably thought it was about letting someone off the hook but in actuality its all about me.
I give myself permission to let go these piled intentions that someone did something to me I no longer have to be bitter about something that happened in my past I forgive you so I can be forgiven. Just like I hurt you hurt so I forgive you but most importantly I forgive myself for judging you as hurting me
I forgive myself for judging you as not loving me
I forgive myself for saying bad things to my friends about you
I forgive myself for denying myself of your love for 3 long years
After all I am probably that beloved Child in whom you are well pleased
I forgive I let it Go and Now I can FLY fly Fly .

ReplyDeleteForgiveness is a contruct,an antidote, a quencher and sooo many other things> i love this post as it shows how complicated yet how simple forgiving is> forgiveness is that gift which is present is all of us>>> some of us have opened this gift ages ago, some are straddling the line of opening and closing and some just straight up pushed this gift aside and will never open it, will never experience the joy of letting going feeling light>>>> forgiveness is important to me as it makes me closer to my creator>>> it makes me christ like being able to forgive. let this be the centre piece on the table of our lives<<< forgiveness extends itself to all facets of our lives. available by just a flip of the emotion. let us all just empower ourselves with forgiveness

ReplyDeleteeven though people may approach forgiveness differently there should be a general theme running through out and that is genuity>>> forgive not out of obligation necessity or selfish gain but forgive from a pure heart and only then will u experience the power of this gift>>> let forgivness be sooo much apart of ur life that u make it a habit, hobby that u do it unconsciously because ur so serious abt the forgiveness>>>> just give people second chances and there is nothing called too much chances>>>> be a genuine professional forgiver>>> mwah to all
While I understand your point I beg to disagree........forgiveness is a selfish act! Forgiveness is not for the other person at all since often times they are off doing their own thing and don't even know that you are miserable because of something hey said or did and maybe if they do know they don't really care or can't go back to change what they have done.....so forgiveness is about YOU being free! Forgiveness is not letting someone off the hook.....it's about not allowing hat persons actions to control your thinking, your view of yourself and your life and your ability to move forward successfully! If that is not selfish then I don't know what is! Selfish in this instance refers to acknowledging, appreciatiating and honoring your own needs instead of submitting yourself to the actions of others.......free your mind of other people. Some great person once said.....forgiveness is like allowing someone to live rent free in your mind.....it ain't worth it so go ahead...be selfish and forgive!

ReplyDeletewell well well there are sooo many sides to a coin right but forgiveness taken from that vantage point is acceptable but it does not negate the fact that the person who forgives has to do so genuinely so that it can become real forgiveness not for gain or otherwise but frm the heart>> also they are 2 parties to the contract of forgiveness the forgiver and the forgivee>>> these parties may be in close proximity or miles apart but what then makes them forgive yes it maybe selfish but isnt it just another necessary evil to achieve some end>>> we need to stop judging the institution of thing and look to there symbolic value>>> we are too literal at times and focus on the trivial>>>> forgiveness is an act state of mind and affairs which should be done from the heart once u start to attach words like selfish to it then it has lost its values because one is puttin the very thing which the symbolic value opposes. just forgive and stop trying to complicate things>>> tooo many theories arent good even though they may seem to she light all of them are in line with the saying "tooo many cooks spoil the broth" so lets leave the broth of forgiveness alone its quite fine>>>
