Ask Zanaé: "Is there really any power in forgiveness.."






Is there really any power in forgiveness?


Hey!


Forgiveness as we know it is a pretty good thing but only when it is not forced. Forgiveness should come willing and if it does not what is the point of it? If you have forgiven someone just for the sake of it and still feel resentment against them you have wasted your time. The power of forgiveness lies in the freedom it gives you from the pain if you still feel that pain you were not ready to forgive.


Once you are ready to forgive someone for what they have done or even yourself for what you have done it should not be rushed. Also, it is important to note that not everyone deserves your forgiveness! Some things are just unforgivable and you should not feel pressured to forgive someone for the hell of it. But do not let this event control you let it free but know that some people do not deserve to feel peace in your forgiveness they just don't.


Sometimes we need to forgive people for our mental health but you can choose to forgive them on your own time and never speak to them again. Often times people feel that apologizing is the only consequence they have to face for crossing you, and it is not and should not because they will not stop hurting you until they learn there are real consequences for foul behavior.


Note that forgiving is not a guaranteed way to heal yourself from emotional trauma caused by others. But time for sure will allow you the space to heal and come to terms with whether you feel that you and the person who wronged you can ever have peace between you.


The most power lies in forgiving yourself I do believe because in order to love yourself fully you must forgive yourself for past mistakes.


So, of course, there is power in forgiveness only when you truly feel comfortable with doing so if not do not waste your precious time love!
