Document Summary
Acknowledgement that you are a human with worth despite. The problem with discussing forgiveness religious character. A question of how you remember, how you go back. It comes limited emotional weight, just a past event. Forgetting comes from release of emotional weight. Forgiveness is not accepting/tolerating injustice, forgetting (no longer remembering), not just letting go of anger. Deciding not to let others actions control you. Does include letting go of pain and hurt. Looking at the other person with compassion. Seeing the other as a complex human capable of good and bad. Getting to the place of actually wishing the other well. When you cause harm to me, that creates a debt, an obligation created. Loan forgiveness, you may decide to pay back later, but no longer an obligation. No longer have an obligation to pay me back. Grievance formation: renting space in our brain to that hurt, replaying the hurt over and over.
