The Power of Forgiveness

“Forgive and forget”: one of the most commonly used phrases when describing a situation where one has been wronged. To some, it seems easier to move on with their lives instead of holding onto a bitter grudge against an aggressor. However, to many, forgiveness does not come so easily. When one has been wronged, forgiveness can seem almost impossible. Many wish to avenge themselves and cannot let go of their anger. Although this view is understandable, forgiveness is an extremely important activity that can benefit the forgiver.
