What is forgiveness and why is it important in our lives?
Forgiveness is one of the most important values that all humans must have. Forgiveness gives us the chance or opportunity to give someone a second chance or also to let go of resentment and thoughts of revenge.
Forgiveness isn't forgetting or ignoring others' bad actions against you, it means letting them show you that they will learn and become better, both, because the bond between both of them will grow stronger and deeper.
Forgiveness give us quite a lot of benefits and improvements such as:
Healthy relations with people
Lower blood pressure
Fewer depresión signs
Improve mental health
Improve heart health
Less stress and hostility
All these benefits give us the capacity to relax and stay call (also happy) most of the time. Forgiveness keeps our hearts clean of hatred, revenge and betrayal feelings. This value helps us to improve more every day in our lives.
But forgiveness will not avoid problems in live, live is really hard sometimes, making you feel alone, without any chance to do anything to change things and how you deal with the problem, but don't worry, the values help us to deal with all these problems and stay forward, forgiveness help us the remit else and also yourself, because sometimes the real monsters is deep hide inside us. So forgiving us is the first step to improve
Once, a friend stole a lot of money from me in a game. I got really angry with him. At that time I needed the money to buy a car. Eventually I forgave him and he was also kind and gave me back more money than he stole from me.
In short, forgiving someone and yourself is a 100% effective technique for your mental health, It’s the best thing to let everything go and see the beautiful and beautiful side of life, because holding on to what already happened is just wasting time.
