Can You Forgive?...

This is a tough one. Most people want to please their parents. But if the person did something really mean or hateful it would be very hard to forgive them. Especially if they have not apologized or anything. If you think its the right thing to do then do it. If not, then don't. At the end of the day you have to make yourself happy and do the right thing for yourself.

Maybe your parents are more concern with the anger that you hold against the person. Parents want the best for us, and I think, in your case, they are asking you to forgive someone so that you can let go of the grudge and stress that you hold against that person.

When I was younger I find it difficult to forgive when someone has done me wrong or hurt me. Howeve,r now that I'm older I tend to forgive easily as I see no point in harboring a bad feeling inside of me. Strangely when I forgive I felt relieved and good. It's as though a burden has been lifted up away from me. Most people cannot forgive because of pride, so may I suggest we swallow our pride and forgive. Anyway, swallowing our pride will not give us indigestion!
