Question

pppllleeeaaassseee

Answer 1

I'm bad for holding a grudge against someone.

Answer 2

Some may say we should forgive everyone for anything. But since we are Human beings. It really depends on the severity of what they have done and how much damage it has done.
If this is someone you truly love and want to forgive. You maybe in for a rough road. Your heart might be willing to forgive but in your mind the doubt of them repeating the same thing, may gnaw at you.
Find a quiet place. Think about how you feel about this person. Make peace with what they have done. (Don't dwell on it) Open your heart to forgiveness. Let whatever happened go.
I won't kid you. It may not be easy. Talk to this person, address the situation. Make sure you don't have any unresolved issues, surrounding this problem. So later on it doesn't boil to the surface. Good luck to you. Forgiveness does really come from within.

Answer 3

Yes, I know how to forgive some one. The one thing I have learned is forgiveness comes from within and is deeper then the heart it comes from the mind, heart and soul and with out a little higher power doesn't come to easy. I think forgiving makes it easier to get over the situation, when you forgive some one for a mistake it means just that you forgive them. It does not require you to love them or even like them. I forgive so I can move on. It takes time but eventually I get it. The whole idea of forgiveness is so you can get over the problem so once you forgive someone for something it is done and over and never to be held over their head again or brought up again no matter what the situation.Some times I tend to dwell and think and still get sad in some situations or should I say most ..if I have forgiven some one I have also chose to leave or walk out of their lives. If I need to forgive some one then they have hurt me in some personal way.
~Good luck to us all with forgiving!~

Answer 4

Forgiveness is not an easy thing.

A great example of this trait is the way the Amish Community forgave the family of their daughter's killer in Pennsylvania. They could have held a grudge. They could have been bitter. They could have been angry about this for the rest of their lives.

Instead, they chose to forgive.

People don't realize just how powerful forgivness can be. For many the anger, bitterness, and hurt will eat them up like a cancer. I believe it's better to let it go.

Good luck & I hope this helps you out!

Answer 5

Time heals. over time, the problem becomes trivial by comparison, so you guys can work over it. alot of times, you have to be the better person and make the effort, otherwise you'll never accomplish anything. in fact, it might be better off that you make the moves to forgive, because some people are averse to being kind. as far as convincing yourself to forgive, just remember that having a friend is 100x better than having an enemy. try reconciliation.

Answer 6

Yeah. Even though its hard and you really know that you don't want to forgive that person, in your heart you know you should because its the right thing to do. There are many ways to do it. If you can't tell that person to their face, then write a letter, an email, over a text message, however. If that person doesn't like the way you delivered that message to them, than just know that YOU did what YOU had to do.

Answer 7

Oh my, what a difficult question. Let me think...I believe there is no such thing as a recipe for forgiveness. You shouldn't fake forgiveness, so it must be from your heart.

If you really forgive somebody it means you won't come back on it. Even if the person you forgave makes a new mistake, you won't come back on the old one. Therefore it can be difficult to really forgive.

Answer 8

They say that holding onto a grudge (bitterness, resentment, etc) is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die. Choose to forgive because it releases you from the burden of having to carry around the pain of the betrayal. Forgiving someone does not mean you have to forget their actions. You can keep their past actions in mind when deciding how vulnerable to allow yourself to be in the future with them. Set healthy boundries.

Haven't we all done things that we are not proud of? It helps me to take my own inventory into account when I am looking at someone else's inventory.

Forgive not to just release them. Forgive to release yourself.

Answer 9

Its really hard and you just have to do it but it takes time. I really don't think anyone can tell you how to. You just have to decide in your heart when is the right time and then forgive. I had to forgive my mother in law for hurting me in more ways than I can even explain and it really took about two years to forgive her. But she did some things that would make you cry just to hear about it. I had so much hatred in my heart until I forgave her and I feel sooooooooo much better now. Good luck:)

Answer 10

forgiveness is a beautiful thing, when we forgive someone it allows you as the forgiver to have peace of mind and a clear heart . it's not always easy but with time it gets better for me when if forgive someone i might not feel it at the moment but because i know that i have forgiven that person i can go on with my life with out hating and harboring bad feelings trust me when you tell someone you for give them even if you don't feel like you have it will get better. to forgive is a blessing and good for your health. and mind you , you do not have to forget just to forgive alone is a great peace of mind lol

Answer 11

Yeah. I easily forgive friends, especially a family. I just don't show it immediately or I'd be abused. Once they offer me something good, that's when I show them that I forgive them; or if they ask for help even if they're aware that I'm mad at them because I know they regret the thing(s) they've done wrong to me but they just can't easily apologize.
