Forgive

“When a deep injury is done us, we never recover until we forgive.”

Forgive means to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake.

Alan Paton

This quote means that in order for you to heal and feel better you have to learn how to forgive. To be able to live a positive life you need to learn how to forgive someone because when you don’t you will just feel bitter all of your life. It’s also good to forgive because that way you are able to give someone else a second chance. Being able to give someone that second chance is important because you free them from having to be live guilty and they know that it is also time for them to heal. For example, if you get in a fight with your best friend learn to be able to forgive them and give them a second chance. Just doing that will make you feel better and you are also letting them know to start over and not make them feel bad for what they had done and you could both learn from that experience. It may be hard at first to do it because it is not always easy, it may take sometimes, but when you know it is time you could heal and positive again. When you don’t learn to forgive that you feel guilty and miserable because things will never go back to how they were. Healing is the best thing you could do in order to recover from something that may have been to hard to handle.
