Do you know to forgive ??

Answer 1

yes, and I do forgive you

Answer 2

Forgiveness is actually a perspective that transcends resentment.It is a bigger picture.You cannot experience forgiveness while staying at the same level as resentment.The meanings assigned to actions are different from this larger view.You finally realize that people truly do not know the implications of their violations.You realize, if they truly knew,they would never have committed them.This especially applies to forgiveness of self,which must come first."...Father,forgive them,for they know not what they do."

Answer 3

I'm sorry to say its one thing I cannot bring myself to do but I think its also the one thing that if I could change it I would feel better about so many things.

I can hold a grudge for all eternity, I'm stubborn as anything & will not back down, I feel so strongly about things that to forgive would feel like giving up & I refuse to do that.

I really can't help it, its just in my nature to be unforgiving. My opinion is if you didn't mean to do something then you shouldn't have done it. End of story, then there'd be nothing to forgive.

Answer 4

I know how to forgive, but I find it very difficult to actually forgive someone that really hurt me or my family.

I have done better in my older years...probably has something to do with maturity...

Answer 5

Yeah, unless he/she did something that I just cannot forgive.
I'd never for example forgive someone who insulted my family or anything like that.

Answer 6

Yes. We all have to be able to forgive because we actually hurt ourselves, more, if we don't or won't forgive others. The other person does hurt who has wronged us, but we will hurt ourselves by having all of the negative energy penned up inside of ourselves. Also, we have to forgive others for our own good, not them. They have to work on forgiving others as well, for their own good. And, the hardest thing is to forgive ourselves, as we tend to be toughest on ourselves. One way to forgive others is simply to pray for them and to try and release the forgiveness to them, and to try and move on mentally. Every time that you think of that person or situation, you need to try and release them or it, mentally, and wish those involved the best for themselves. Eventually, you will not feel any ill will towards that person or situation when they come to your mind, and at this point, you continue to wish them well and the best. Now, you have forgiven them.......And, forgiveness does not mean that you have to allow the same person or others to hurt you in the same way, again, as we all need to learn from situations that we have experienced as well. I have learned this information and how to apply it from my mentor, Dr. Joseph Murphy. His flagship book is called, "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind." I highly recommend it as it is a life changing book. Godspeed to you and yours.......

Answer 7

When you forgive, you get rid of a lot of baggage that you hold. No one needs to carry around excess baggage.

Answer 8

No, I am not very good at it. Admittedly, one of my big-time shortcomings! Especially if I have been lied to, deceived, ripped-off....or worse, someone has hurt one of my children!
