Though how we exercise prudence and politeness yet "we can't please every one". There are some who will reject us and turn to us as an enemy. Some harbored ill feelings to us. They are our friends and relatives. With this experience I learned to overcome them by prayer and forgiveness. Praying and forgiving them for they don't know what they are doing. Humbling also ourselves for we too are sinners.

Hi,
You are right. It is very difficult to forgive. Some people behave with us so badly or they hurt our feelings so badly that it is not possible for us to forgive them. We also make many mistakes and we also need forgiveness from others. So we should try to forgive others and try to forget others mistakes. It is said that the weak can never forgive, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

To be humble is one of the hardest role that many people resist doing them!
and PRIDE is the enemy of not doing it so!!
I, too had a hard time before forgiving those who have hurt me in the past but after being able to do so,,, which I never expect i would be possible...from then on I learned to forgive people not only once but twice (with different people)....I learned that holding grudges and not forgiving takes away our own happiness!!!

Emotions and egos get in the way sometimes and some people are stubborn and don't want to be the one to say they are sorry. But saying sorry and also forgiving someone takes a big person and i think it is the right thing to do

I do agree with you on this. We have made mistakes in our lives to our friends and our families even and they too may have committed mistakesto us as well. The thing is when wedo not pray for thisand when we do not try to forgive others we are left with the burdens fo us to carry. The moment we thin we forget it and do nothing abou it... We only limit ouraelves and this is our setbacks.

I know forgiving is one of the hardest things to do. Some of us yearn for forgiveness. The pain of being unforgiving eats into the very fabric of lives. God will be happy for those who can forgive those who have hurt them deeply. Forgiveness frees a human being. It releases us from the past and frees our energy for other things in life. It is good to forgive others.

Our ego gets in the way. It is a very hard thing for many people to do. I include myself. It has really taken me years to learn how to do this. The first step was to learn that I was just damaging myself. The person I needed to forgive was just going on with their life, I was the one wasting my energy on hurt feelings and thoughts of revenge. Once I learned this and took a good hard look I saw how
stupid that was. I also took another look at what caused the situation and saw it from their point of view. It still took prayer and tapping to eliminate this from my life. For information about tapping go to tapping.com It works well on emotional problems.
