I’ve found, as you have, it seems … that forgiveness is something we do for OURSELVES. Carrying a grudge that I replay over and over in my mind is a very unkind way to treat myself. Thanks for the reminder. Blessings, Lynne

Hi Shefaly,

@ Prerna: Thanks. If the intent is right, I don’t see why one should carry the burden of guilt. In my experience, I have seen if I resolve it and move on, it is much easier.

@ Wildsynergy: Welcome to my blog and thanks for your note. It took me months to finish this post as I wrote it slowly, reflecting – or you say, stepping back – to think.

@ DestinationInfinity: Thanks for your note. I daresay if the intent is to humiliate, I think the point of forgiveness is lost. Besides, they can only be humiliated if you tell them, no? Sometimes people we hold a grudge against do not even know they have hurt us. For me, forgiveness is entirely personal and if it surprises someone, I expect it will be a pleasant surprise.

There is one quote I remembered after reading the post” “Forgive your enimies, Nothing can humiliate them more”. Perhaps it should have been: “Forgive your enimies, Nothing can humiliate them more and Releive you as much”.

Destination Infinity.

I so appreciated your blog entry here. Good reminders of how i can be in this world!
A life’s lesson for me: When i react (inwardly) to a situation- i am learning to step back and ask myself if the reaction comes from a past experience, or the present experience- the answer helps me to determine whether to respond outwardly or continue to work on my own stuff.
and to add to that, also by stepping back i give time to shift perspective a bit, a space, a breath.
This is a constant learning!
Thanks for listening- Linda
