I Forgive You

It’s a commandment to forgive one another. Not that everyone does it though.

Most people, if they were to get offended, would hold a grudge. If someone stole something of theirs, they would get angry. If someone sinned against them worse, they would certainly never forgive them. They would want revenge most likely.

But really, isn’t that stupid? Where is a grudge going to get us? Wasn’t there a horror movie named that? If a horror movie can be named after something you’re carrying, you should probably drop it.

Anger really isn’t going to get you anywhere either. Sure you can feel upset, but why waste your energy and time on something boring like that. On your death bed, are you going to say “Oh man, I wish I spent more time angry!”? I highly doubt it. Spend time on doing something fun, that you want to do!

An eye for an eye only makes the world blind. For real. Seeking revenge; Doesn’t that make you just as low was the other person, if not lower? I personally would rather be the better person and simply forgive the offender. It’s the best way to get them. =)

Really, someone may do something terrible to you, but it’s not worth it to let it eat at you. Forgive them and move on. It’s much less painful that way.

So to you who just hurt me most, I forgive you. You’re still a great person. Just try to do better next time, please.
