From a young time I had the opportunity to grow up, those who surrounded me and loved me, began to learn one of the main values that make us human beings: forgiveness.
In childhood, we receive and capture sensations and learnings that allow us to begin to develop our emotions.
? Teresa of Calcutta?
Our environment conditions us, for good or evil. In my case, this last condition was not the case. I was lucky and I’ll be happy to tell you why.
Every day of my life, since my early maturity, my family and friends have been constant in making me develop a value that today is one of the parts of my current emotional skeleton: learning to forgive those who love us is not good.
From an early date I understood the importance of this value. Forgiveness allows us to feel at peace; we come to an inner fullness with ourselves and, therefore, with the world.
And believe me: this pillar of life is absolutely true, in many of our philosophies and religions it is said that the act of forgiveness makes us great souls, endows us with a great heart and immense inner value. Companion of adventures, oblivion, is a gift from those who are brave and appreciate their own happiness.
Forgive and forget: two vital ingredients that each of us should develop every day of our lives, you know why?
Little by little I have learned that you will not be weaker to forgive someone who has hurt you, I have discovered that if we forgive and forget quickly, we can feel that things prevent us from doing wrong, that we can forget or eliminate. of our lives to those who don’t really love us.
Invite your heart to open when someone apologizes and forgives you, even if it seems complicated, no matter how serious the experience or damage caused, when you perform the act of forgiveness, you will feel enlightened and balanced with yours. essence, your soul And this is one of the best rewards of this life: the first step in eternity.
Forgiveness also often invites us to ask ourselves what happens when someone hurts us and does not apologize, should we forgive them anyway?
I invite you to reflect with your heart, you will find that your own soul will lead you to forgive in any way, do not forget how important it is to know how to forget, in the end it is not worth suffering for someone who has not been able or able to prove that he appreciates it.
If this happens, I would like to convey to you the precious emotion that you are much stronger, because you are able to show that you appreciate and respect each other and, believe me, that is what really matters: respect and love for ourselves in the first place, without he does not know how to give love and, therefore, to live fully.
So forgive me and don’t forget to forget. Both will become the key to continuing your personal development and evolution as a great human being as you are.
Living under these values will allow you to have the backpack loaded that you carry behind your back, which does not let you look at the sky, the destination that we all want to reach.
I will not say goodbye without first pointing out that living with grudges will do you no good or harm to the person who hurt you, we can only change if we have the courage to forgive and work to forget what happened.
Learn to accept an apology if you are affectionately offered them. If not, forget it and move on, remembering that forgiving is not turning around.
“Forgiveness is the courage of the brave
Can only those who are strong enough to forgive an offense know how to love?
? Mahatma Gandhi?
