Change myself by forgiveness

The forgiving is not easy to anyone. Talking about forgiveness causes strong emotions – both in people who choose to forgive and in people who do not forgive. Forgiveness is a process that only work if people freely chose it. I believe in forgiveness like a lot of other people. Forgiveness is not saying that what happened was okay. It is being able to say in my heart that I accept what has happened. And I will not let it stop me living a life or seeing humanity in the person who has hurt me. Forgiveness means that I don’t want revenge. Revenge is a basic human desire. It is the animal part of man. So I don’t want to hurt my enemy in return. Forgiveness lacks substance as an answer to extreme situations… I have to win some sort of victory over the people who have hurt me. That strength is to keep on living, to keep on valuing life. Forgiveness looks different in every situation. It requires justice. It is a process of grace. Sometimes it means every day deciding to forgive again. It’s certain that forgiveness is difficult, costly and painful. But it has the possible ability to completely change myself.
