I care too much of those who stay in my life, despite all my mistakes.
And if they let me down, usually I get annoyed, and maybe I might even ignore them for a while. But at the end of the day I end up worrying and forgiving.
I worry thinking maybe it was my fault to let them put me down. Or maybe they chose wrong to act in that manner. This is the dilemma; the worry.
I wonder why I forgive them, but I can’t help it. Maybe because forgiving gives peace to my mind, but still everyone else is saying I should ignore them forever! But no matter how much some people hurt me or criticize me, I still can’t be annoyed forever!
Maybe others will say that I’m too weak to hold my anger, but I think it was their choice to accuse me or let me down; and it’s my choice to forgive them. It’s not that I forget, but maybe it’s much easier when I have few people whom I must ignore.
But still I’m wondering….
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.
ManuDS.
You are so right. Forgiveness is for the forgiver, not the forgiven. It releases the person who releases the anger.
I know this because I have experienced the release of forgiving in the past and I am currently trapped by the chains of my inability to forgive. Its not an always and easy thing. But it is a path to peace.
