Release

Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time. Realize that now, in this moment of time, you are creating. You are creating your next moment. That is what's real.

I have been ruminating about the concept of forgiveness. All levels of forgiveness, from forgiving things that are deemed unacceptable to things that are merely a minor infraction. I find that if I am really going to practice forgiveness with one person, then why not all people?

Wikipedia describes Forgiveness as the mental, emotional and spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment towards a person that has wronged you. It’s ceasing to demand punishment or restitution.

Whether or not you choose to associate with that person in the future is up to you. Forgiveness is a choice.

Sounds simple. Sounds peaceful. Sounds like something that a happy person does.
