Forgiveness is a strong word. When you say it, we all think about someone who hurt us, about someone who did something against us, but we forgave. We moved one, and gave them a second chance. But what if you are the one who made a mistake and you need to be forgiven. It’s a whole different story.
First of all you would need to admit, that you were wrong. Admitting our mistake is hard. We tend to believe that we are always right and that we never make mistakes. There is always someone else to blame. But once you step back, and look at the thinks with a different perspective you will see your own mistakes. First you will admit it to yourself, and then, if you are brave enough to others. Saying it out loud is painful. It takes a kind of maturity to stand in front of someone else and say that you were wrong… and apologise. As you know, an apology can’t fix everything and it shouldn’t. How may times did someone say ‘I’m sorry’ to you and all you were thinking ‘Like that makes any difference’ or ‘What should I do with your apology?’ It’s just one tiny step that is necessary for moving on.
Forgiveness is a long journey. It takes time for both parties. You can’t rush it, you can’t do anything just be patient. In the end we all make mistakes. We are all familiar with both sides of. We were hurt, and we hurt someone. Intentionally or not intentionally we are all equally guilty and innocent. Forgiveness is the most powerful human action. We need it, because if we are not granted the gift of forgiveness we will never be able to turn the page and move on, we will constantly go back to the event that changed everything. One word, one action, that didn’t have any meaning at that particular time, changed our lives. If we are not forgiven all we can do is think about the endless options of what if’s.
Forgiving means growing and being better than we were. Granting forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what was done, simply saying that we are able to move on it. It doesn’t fix anything but it can change lives.
Being forgiven is the same. It means that our mistakes were accepted. They are not erased or forgotten, simply there is just no need to be reminded of them constantly.
Moving on is important. Forgiving is important. One can’t exist without the other one. So go ahead. Grow, forgive, and move on!

You are right. Forgiveness is important. For the person who is doing the forgiving and the one who is being forgiven. Though it’s tough, I know but necessary so we can be free.
So enlightened thank you
