The stupid neither forgive nor forget, the naive forgive but do not forget, the wise forgive and forget. Forgiveness is the characteristics of the strong, it really takes a lot of strength to forgive and to let go of the hurt. The alternative to forgiving is vengeance but it will not help you to reduce the pain.
Revenge, to me, is simply not the right way to let go of the emotional baggage I carry around when someone hurts me. In the end, the realization prevails that there is no difference between you and the person that hurt you, if you opt for revenge. The process of forgiving is essential to let go of the hurt. Forgiveness can set you free. It can help you in releasing the built up resentment and the emotional baggage you carry around. Life is short to waste your time on hatred.
Life is to be enjoyed, not to be endured!
