Forgiveness…
Do you know that forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do? It’s very easy to say the three words, “I forgive you,” but do you really forgive, or do you just say those words?
A lot of people might argue that forgetting is the hardest part after being wronged, but the truth is, there’s no real “forgetting” without some level of forgiveness involved in the equation.
When I talk about forgetting I don’t mean pretending like you were never hurt or whatever happened did not affect you.
When I talk about forgiving and forgetting, I am talking about choosing not to hold anything against the other person, not letting it shape the way you see this person or the way you carry the pain around. It is letting go completely and being free.
People always say, “I can forgive, but I’ll never forget this or that.” But let’s be realistic. Can one truly forgive while still holding on to the memory like a weapon?
Choosing not to let the past control your future and refusing to play everything over and again at the sight of the person or triggers is where the real work is.
Some days, you might feel like you’re way past everything then boom! A little trigger and you’re back at square one, resenting and cursing this person all over again. The wounds open up and this time you’re not only hating the person, but you beat yourself more for feeling all the troubling emotions again and this is exhausting.
We need to understand that true forgiveness isn’t just about the other person pleading for our mercy but it’s for ourselves too. Letting go of the hurt, letting go of the burden, and being free.
True forgiveness is deciding to never bring it up or allow it to define your relationship with the other person. Even if we aren’t close anymore let the last memories of you not be when you hurt me badly.
If we are being honest, saying SORRY is never enough but what then can we do?
I’d love to share a beautiful song with you all and I hope it inspires someone here today.
The title of the song is Sorry ain’t Enough by Michael Gerow. This beautiful song was released in 2024.
The song can be interpreted as two lovers who are separated and the same for two friends who drifted apart.
Know it's too late for apologies, I
Know you hate me, I would hate me too
After all the shit I put you through
While sorry is never enough like the songwriter said, forgiveness should be our priority. Let’s prioritize forgiving people over everything else, if not for anything but for our well-being.
I know it’s hard to forgive, I know it’s hard to unsee the hurt or delete the memories but finding peace is important. Let’s not see or think about the other person and our heart starts racing, let’s not see them as monsters and want to do everything to hurt them back. Let us find peace and peace comes with true forgiveness.
The song highlights a friend or partner who is hurting and trying to fix everything. In this song, we get to see the hurt and tension through the lens of the offender.
How do I say, "I'm sorry"
When sorry ain't enough?
Sorry ain't enough
Sorry ain't enough
If anyone comes to mind when you read this, then just maybe that’s your cue to genuinely forgive them😃
So if you’re looking for a beautiful song to listen to I highly recommend Sorry ain’t Enough and just maybe you might learn a thing or two from the song.

Yes friend you have spoken beautifully. Suffering is something in human life which is always present in human life, happiness, peace, prosperity and suffering. Although forgiveness is included. Humans also make mistakes which can be seen face to face as evidence. Their behavior is through speech and behavior. However, most people do not use sharp intelligence. Yes of course I like to forgive. But I am such a person. If someone ever speaks painfully. I can hold this pain given by him for at most 10 minutes. Exactly after 10 minutes this pain goes away from my mind. "Time is an example" But it is also true that I never consider the pain given by people as pain. Because if I accept that someone has given me a little pain today. Although some part of that pain remains in my heart. Then I open the door of my heart to the great Creator. Just then the night comes although I like to sleep peacefully. So before going to bed I forget all the pain given by people. At the same time the night sleep is peaceful and in the morning I wake up like an innocent child. Just then I can restore my great and equal love for people.
I never consider a hurt as a hurt. The creator has given me so much patience that I can forget all the hurts in a moment. Still, I can never curse any person. I think the great creator has sent me to this world to enjoy people, plants, animals, birds and all the creations of the world. So I can never hurt them in any way.
If they ever hurt me, I can understand that pain with honest judgment. But still I have no pain towards them. Rather, their beautiful days will be the biggest success of my life.
But yes, I sincerely believe that forgiveness should be our policy. And this should be reflected in all people. At the same time, we must encourage ourselves to spend some time with any person. I know friend, you are forgiving. But every person should be forgiving.
If someone remembers something after reading these words, then it is forgiving. It is really true, which I believe in with all my heart.
I am very happy to hear your beautiful message and some forgiving and patient words. Maybe I have written your opinion while writing. But here I have tried to tell you the jokes of my mind. We are only trying to double our experience. At the same time, creating love for people with honest intentions will be our most valuable ideal.

Awwwwww @mdakash62 this is so sweet, you sure have a beautiful heart. I love how you handle being hurt by people, it’s not every day you get to see someone who sees being hurt this way.
Like you said, forgiveness should be our policy, I wish a lot of people could make forgiveness their policy too.
Dear friend thanks for taking the time to leave this beautiful comment on my post, I love it so much, do take care😃
Forgiving someone is never easy because you were hurt badly but holding on to such memory also causes damages. That's we need to forgive because as you said, it's also for us.
Remember? Yeah, but we shouldn't let thar memory hold us back. Well done.
