“We forgive, if we are wise, not for the other person, but for ourselves. We forgive, not to erase a wrong, but to relieve the residue of the wrong that is alive within us. We forgive because it is less painful than holding on to resentment. We forgive because without it we condemn ourselves to repeating endlessly the very trauma or situation that hurt us so. We forgive because ultimately it is the smartest action to take on our own behalf. We forgive because it restores to us a sense of inner balance.” IfsPersonsActionHurtSituationWiseAliveBalanceForgivenessForgivingPainfulTraumaResentmentBehalfHolding OnErase Author:Tian Dayton
“Take it slowly. The deepest resentments are wrapped up in a lot of hurt and pain. We think we're protecting ourselves by not forgiving. Acknowledge that and go easy on yourself. Forgiveness means that you've decided not to let it keep festering inside even if it only comes up once in awhile. Forgiveness is a powerful yet challenging tool that will support and honor you, even in the most extreme circumstances.” IfsThinkingMeanPainEasyChallengesHurtPowerfulSupportHonorCircumstancesForgivenessToolsDecidedForgivingCome UpExtremesAcknowledgeResentmentNot ForgivingFesteringHurt And PainProtecting Ourselves Author:Howard Martin
“The word resentment means to re-feel...to feel again. Someone wrongs or wounds you; in resenting it, you re-feel the injury. And you re-hurt yourself. The Hebrew Talmud says that a person who bears a grudge is "Like one who, having cut one hand while handling a knife, avenges himself by stabbing the other hand."” FeelsMeanPersonsHandsHurtCuttingBearsWoundsInjuryKnivesResentmentGrudgeHebrewStabbing Book:Have a Great Day Source: Have a Great Day
“Not forgiving prolongs hurt and anger and leads to smoldering resentment, which will make us miserable until it kills us. Resentment destroys the perception of reality. As we try to bend the world to accommodate our resentment, fear, and selfishness, we become less accurate in understanding the world. This eventually destroys our ability to cope successfully with life.” WorldTryingRealityUnderstandingHurtAbilityPerceptionForgivingMiserableSelfishnessBitternessResentmentAccurateAccommodateNot ForgivingUnderstanding The WorldPerception Reality Author:Richard Walters
