"Forgiveness will never fail to free you."

How do we forgive when we're angry and hurt?
-- Jerrold Mundis
As a first step, we can be willing to truly feel our
anger and hurt. Honouring our feelings by being fully
present with them helps to release the feelings
themselves.
And it helps to remember that people only hurt others
when they themselves are in pain. When we can recognize
the other person's suffering, our heart can open in
compassion. We can also remember that at some time or
another, we too have hurt someone through our own
unskilful action.
Only love can heal the rifts caused by a hurtful deed.
Forgiveness holds immense power because it mends
separation. It moves us towards the unity and love that
lie at the core of our being. It is a fundamental part
of the healing process.
"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does
enlarge the future."
