Thread About Forgiveness

[Mark Antony]

Negative energy will wear you out, man.

This, I don't hold on to grudges or harbor ill feelings for long. Once you tap into your ego and find your space of calm and contentment, you do what it takes to stay there. That space for me has no grudges.

Forgiving is tough...i mean its easy to say but to really 100% absolve someone is really hard...its not some passive thing ....... you have to use ALOT of concentrated internal and spiritual strength.

With the situations currently in the news....Charleston. ...Boston bombing.............if someone intentionally killed someone i love i could probably say i forgive them........but inside i know i could never forgive them....like my body...emotions...my soul...would not allow that to happen.

Exactly

For those who say "forgive but never forget," can you really truly forgive them deep down if what they've done continues to weigh on your mind and affects you negatively? 

Isn't forgiving essentially giving someone a pass for something wrong that they did in the hopes that they don't do it again? There's a fine line between being someone who doesn't hold grudges and being someone who's easy to walk over, especially when most would see it as the latter and feel comfortable enough to do something again.

My old best friend broke into my mom's house and took pretty much everything I had.

This was almost 10 years ago.
Really wanted to go see him and make something happen.
Decided to let it go, cut my whole team off, and now I'm married, me and wife are prty solid financially and I got my first kid on the way.
Pretty sure he still lives on his mom's couch, on welfare


Still mad tho

I have forgiven people who have wronged me in the past and also made the decision to no longer associate myself with them.

They understood what they have done and they have lost my trust in them. I don't wish them any ill will, but it had to be done.

Don't even forgive the meat when it let's off too quick, why would I forgive a piece of ****?
