I still struggle with forgiveness: what it is, how to attain it, and why forgive.<br /><br />I hope you find the answers. <br /><br />IvoryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764197356088627779.post-39119420060543428262009-06-05T18:03:50.089-04:002009-06-05T18:03:50.089-04:00Your post got me to thinking: Have I ever forgive...Your post got me to thinking: Have I ever forgiven those who hurt me? I think about it and I'm not even sure I have an answer. In some ways I think I have, but in other ways I think I haven't. I don't think about it really. I think I just accept that it all happened. Period. <br /><br />So, I'm not sure if anger and forgiveness are mutually exclusive or not. My gut tells me they are not. That if you can learn to accept what happened to you, not necessarily forgive, and still forge ahead with your life, then you will be okay. I think you can find peace and let go somewhat. I think this is what healing is about.<br /><br />But anger is perhaps not so negative that you make it out to be. I think anger is healing if we can learn to incorporate it into more of our whole being and moderate it some. Anger is motivating. It creates power. I don't want to let go of anger, I want to channel it.<br /><br />I think you do have a lot of the answers. But you just need to sit with it a bit longer. Good luck.<br /><br />Paul.Paul from Mind Partshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16327940093749165270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764197356088627779.post-20933516932520193112009-06-04T19:47:31.567-04:002009-06-04T19:47:31.567-04:00My T tells me that forgiveness isn't saying &q...My T tells me that forgiveness isn't saying "it's okay." He says it's more of allowing us to point in a new direction and get a new perspective, thereby letting the anger fall by the wayside along with the trash who harmed us.<br /><br />Sounds simple, but I have yet to accomplish it myself. I do understand, tho, that as long as we hang on to the anger/pain, we are allowing the abusers to control our thots and actions. I try very hard to avoid this, but even then...<br /><br />Work on a new day, I wish you well.<br />IvoryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
