Synopsis
Forgiveness: It s easier said than done.
You have been wronged and you cannot get past it. Whatever the cause of your resentment whether it is a fight with a former friend that has lasted for years, an unfaithful spouse, being laid off from a job, or having been the victim of a horrible crime you are finding it extremely difficult to forgive and forget. Maybe you are not even sure you want to.
Who is really being hurt?
It probably does not come as a surprise that the very first step in the forgiveness process, the willingness to pardon another, is often the most difficult. But here's the kicker: The person you are hurting most by holding on to your resentment and anger is yourself. Unforgiven offenses eat at you, whether you know it or not, infusing your life with a bitterness that prevents you from finding peace. Essentially, refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
