This is what is been stated most of the times, and is mentioned every now and then... But I think there is more to Forgiveness... And that is inner peace. Times when I have forgiven people, my heart feels light, my mind is at comfort and most importantly I feel I have let go off the burden of anger and anxiety. May be people think that I am strong enough to let go off and forgive but I think I am wise enough to value my peace over anything else. Forgiving someone also enhances my power to spread love and empathy

Forgiveness also takes courage hence people who are able to forgive are strong I agree.

Yes, I also think that forgiveness brings us many benefits. As you say, we travel light and are not carrying heavy grudges with us to weigh us down.

@Aansh13 I think it depends on if a person really regrets what they did or not. There are many that do not regret.

I agree. But can you forgive if the person does the same thing over and over again

@Aansh13 some people are just so self centered.

That's certainly impossible. Once done is a mistake, repetition makes it a choice.... and choices aren't suppose to be forgiven.

I definitely agree with you. I confess that I have felt anger before, who hasn't right? Thing is that I needed to let it all out by expressing myself, because I felt that all I had to say was burning me inside. Once I said everything I needed to, many things changed with the person I had the conversation with, but in the end it was all I needed. If I hadn't expressed myself to that person, I would have never forgiven them. Thank God I let it all out, nonetheless we don't talk to each other anymore. But it was relieving!
