Forgiveness is a powerful way of dealing with the friction and hurt that can arise in relationships with others. It is about making life’s load lighter. It revolves around generating positive energy to face the future. Thinking of forgiveness this way means it has less to do with the other person. It has more to do with finding one’s own peace and strength. Forgiveness – when you can and when you are ready – is a way of moving towards a lightness of being.
