Is it easy to forgive others?

When you forgive another person does it mean that you’ve forgotten that the event happened at all?

I say no!

I was told some time ago that real forgiveness means that you are allowing yourself to be free from the bitterness of having been hurt. It is accepting that an event has taken place, but you believe that you deserve to move on from it.

Isn’t that a better way than trying to seek revenge?

All that revenge does is keep the negative event upper most in your mind, doesn’t it?

You are better than that aren’t you?
