The Art of Forgiving

How to forgive and rebuild yourself in a relationship.

Forgiving someone is difficult, especially when they make you go through tremendous hardship and suffering. It could be with them tarnishing your name, spreading rumors, or even your close friend backstabbing your trust for their benefits.

Getting such a worst experience would always make us think that getting revenge is much more satisfying as we can see them suffer. Yet there are times we heard people are happy after forgiving, and we wonder how.

After the traumatized incident, everything was back to how it used to be, but I wasn’t completely happy. There was a vague feeling in me. Something dissatisfied, which I assume was the anger I had towards the person who made me suffer.

I thought when I had my revenge, this vague feeling will disappear. But every time my close friend and I planned something wrong, the dissatisfaction feeling becomes worst. Every time I am alone, my intuition reminds me not to execute the plans.

I am a very strong believer when it comes to my intuition. Frankly, that was the only reason I backed off the plan. My close friend was shocked and furious when I told him to stop what we were doing. I explained to him about the intuition and the feelings that I had. He laughed, asked me if I am planning to forgive them. That was the moment it clicked, the realization and the answer to my vague feeling.

Forgiving comes from accepting what had happened and removing the anger towards the person who made a mistake. Forgiving is not easier said than done, but with these few tips, you will start on your journey towards forgiveness.
