Yes, in human relationship forgiveness is most important. This character only gives the difference between animal and human being. When we forgive others we feel good to others. We can develope love with our friends and relatives. The others can also follow us by seeing our good nature. We will become role model to others.

Forgiveness is one of the main anchors in a relationship. If you cannot forgive, you'll be a very lonely person. One of the problems with people is that sooner or later, they are gonna do something to you that will be in need of forgiving. We are finite, fragile and imperfect people and from time to time, we will hurt one another. Forgiveness brings the balance and refreshment to a relationship that is desperately needed; this is true on every level of relationships - be it family, friends, or loved ones. Learn to forgive and enjoy a long lasting relationship.

Hi jeyshjain, Forgiveness is very important and not just for the other person but for ourselves as well. Unless we are willing to forgive we will carry resentment which will eventually cause the breakdown of our health. Blessings.

Forgiving is beneficial not only for the person being forgiven but also to the person granting forgiveness. If we forgive someone, we are setting free the hatred that dwells in us. It relieves us of the useless stress that accumulate in our hearts. My mom taught me that "To err is human but to forgive is divine." I guess, forgiveness doesn't come easily and it is such a hard task especially if we got hurt deeply. But if we see the person asking for forgiveness with sincerity, it is much easier to forgive.

the Lord has taught us the greatest example of forgiveness, that is when He gave His own son to save the lives of people who have sinned. Our greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God, second to it is to love thy neighbors and enemies, and love includes forgiveness.

Hello jeyshjain, Yes, I think that it is very important to forgive. Those who believe in the Bible are taught to forgive. If there is no forgiveness, then, it becomes a source of stress, which can make you ill. When you forgive, it does not mean you have to continue with the situation or person, it just releases the anger, or hurt feelings about the situation or person. :)
