4. Why Forgive? By Johann Christoph Arnold(Forgiveness category)

“When we forgive someone for a mistake or a deliberate hurt, we still recognize it as such, but instead of lashing out or biting back, we attempt to see beyond it, so as to restore our relationship with the person responsible for it.

Our forgiveness may not take away our pain- -– it may not even be acknowledged or accepted -– yet the act of offering it will keep us from being sucked into the downward spiral of resentment.

It will also guard us against the temptation of taking out our anger or hurt on someone else. It is only natural, when we are hurt, to want to revisit the source of that hurt. There is nothing wrong with that. Whenever we do this in the sense of chalking up another person’s guilt, however, our pain will soon turn into resentment.

It doesn’t matter if the cause of our pain is real or imagined: the effect is the same. Once there, it will slowly eat away at us until it spills out and corrodes everything around us.” Excerpt from the book
