Forgiveness is necessary from "summary" of Old School Love by Michael "Hollywood" Hernandez
Forgiveness is a crucial element in any relationship. Without it, resentment and bitterness can fester, eventually destroying what was once a strong connection between two people. When we hold onto grudges and refuse to let go of past hurts, we are only hurting ourselves in the long run. It takes a great deal of strength and humility to forgive someone who has wronged us, but the benefits far outweigh the difficulty of the task. Forgiveness allows us to move forward and heal from the pain of the past. It frees us from the burden of carrying around negative emotions and allows us to open our hearts to love and connection once again. When we forgive, we are not condoning the actions of the person who hurt us, but rather releasing ourselves from the power that those actions hold over us. Forgiveness is an act of self-love as much as it is an act of love towards the other person. It requires us to let go of our ego and pride, and to choose compassion and understanding instead. By choosing to forgive, we are choosing to prioritize our own mental and emotional well-being above all else. In a healthy relationship, forgiveness is essential. It allows both partners to grow and evolve together, rather than being held back by past mistakes and grievances. It creates a foundation of trust and respect that is necessary for a relationship to thrive in the long term.- Forgiveness is a choice that we make for ourselves. It is a way of showing kindness and grace to both ourselves and others, and of acknowledging our own humanity and capacity for growth. In the end, forgiveness is not just necessary – it is transformative.
