Need to forgive and reconcile in society

Introduction

Forgiveness is a difficult thing. It’s not about saying “it’s okay that you did this to me.” That’s a myth. The feelings will still be there but they won’t control you. Forgiveness gives you space to move on with your life in a healthy way. Forgiveness isn’t just about saying “I forgive” or even believing that it happened – it’s an act, not a feeling. If you’re doing it for the right reasons, then you are taking a good one back from them – your life (or at least some of it).

Forgiveness is a difficult thing.

Forgiveness is a difficult thing. It’s not easy to forgive someone you love, or even someone who has hurt you in some way. Forgiveness can be a process that takes time and energy, but it’s also something that has to start with yourself—and only after forgiveness will there be peace between two people.

Forgiveness doesn’t imply condoning what happened; instead, it means accepting responsibility for your own feelings and actions (with no excuses), learning from mistakes made in the past by both parties involved in any given situation (especially if they were made under duress or coercion), making amends where needed so as not to create further harm on either side of an issue/conflict.”

When we forgive, we take our power back.

When we forgive, we take back our power. We don’t have to let them win anymore and allow them to control our lives. We can stop feeling like a victim and start feeling better about ourselves. We can move on from whatever happened in the past so that we don’t have to keep carrying around all of those old feelings with us every day of our lives.

It is ok if you don’t feel like forgiving right away – it takes time! But once you do, it will be worth every minute spent on this journey towards forgiveness because then you can finally start living again!

Forgiveness means that we are no longer dominated by the actions of others.

Forgiveness is a choice. It’s a way of taking back control of your life, happiness and peace of mind. The act of forgiving means that you no longer give in to the anger or hurt that has been festering inside of you long enough to create an emotional burden on yourself.

Forgiving someone doesn’t mean they get off scot-free—it just means that there are things in their life which can be changed so they’ll have fewer chances for future offenses against others around them!

 

 

 

 

 

It’s not about saying “it’s okay that you did this to me.” That’s a myth.

In the world of relationships, forgiveness is often described as “it’s okay.” But it’s not. It’s not about saying that you can forgive someone and move on. It’s about acknowledging that something happened in your relationship, recognizing that it wasn’t right and making sure both parties do their part to make things better going forward.

Forgiveness is not a declaration of love or affection; rather, it is an acknowledgment that harm has occurred—harm caused by either party—and an effort on both parts for reconciliation (if possible). So even if we’re still mad at each other or hold onto blame for what went wrong during our breakup or marriage (or whatever), we still need to recognize how harmful those actions were for both sides involved before moving forward into some kind of closure or peace treaty between us again…

The feelings will still be there but they won’t control you.

You can still feel the pain, but you can choose not to be controlled by it. When we’re feeling angry or sad, it’s important to recognize that these feelings are a part of the process and not the whole thing. Pain isn’t the only important thing; we also need to acknowledge our emotions in order for us to heal from them.

We all have different ways of dealing with our anger and sadness—some people might choose to spend time alone while others may seek out friends who understand what they’re going through better than anyone else would (including themselves). If there is someone who has been affected by your actions, ask them how they want you to handle this situation moving forward so that everyone involved gets what they need out of it!

Forgiveness gives you space to move on with your life in a healthy way.

Forgiveness is not a feeling. It’s not an instant decision, and it’s not something you should just decide to do.

Forgiveness is a process; it takes time and energy and effort. You have to be willing to forgive yourself along the way before you can forgive others and move forward in your life with peace of mind, rather than resentment or anger towards others who have hurt you or caused pain for their own reasons (or because they felt like hurting).

Forgiving someone does not mean forgetting what happened—it means putting aside any feelings associated with that moment so that healing can take place from within yourself instead of externally from others’ words or actions.

Forgiveness is an act, not a feeling. You might never feel it, but you can still do it, and that’s what matters. If you’re doing it for the right reasons, then you are taking a good one back from them – your life.

Forgiveness is an act, not a feeling. You might never feel it, but you can still do it, and that’s what matters. If you’re doing it for the right reasons, then you are taking a good one back from them – your life.

Forgiving someone does not absolve them from their wrongdoings or make them into better people; it simply allows us to see things differently from now on and move forward with our own lives in spite of those who have hurt us previously (if only because now we know how far they’ll go). It’s an opportunity for growth instead of stagnation because no matter how much time goes by between these experiences with others in your life; ultimately we all have our own set of standards when dealing with others’ actions toward us personally (or even just as part of society).

Forgiveness is a difficult thing to do. The wounds of the past can be deep and painful, but if you’re willing to forgive someone for what they did to you in the past, then it will have a positive impact on your life today.
