Forgiveness is a form of surrendering from "summary" of Surrender by Bono

Forgiveness is not about forgetting or excusing the harm done to us. It is not about pretending that the pain inflicted upon us doesn't matter. Instead, forgiveness is a conscious decision to release ourselves from the burden of resentment and anger that we carry towards those who have wronged us. It is a choice to let go of the desire for revenge and to free ourselves from the chains of bitterness that bind us to the past. When we forgive, we are not condoning the actions of others or denying the harm they have caused. Rather, we are choosing to surrender our need for retribution and justice. We are relinquishing our grip on the pain and suffering that we have endured, and allowing ourselves to move forward with a sense of peace and liberation. In many ways, forgiveness is an act of surrender. It requires us to surrender our pride, our ego, and our sense of righteousness. It asks us to let go of our anger and resentment, and to release the hold that the past has on us. When we forgive, we are surrendering our need to control the narrative of our lives, and instead, we are choosing to embrace a path of healing and reconciliation. By surrendering our need for vengeance and holding onto grudges, we are able to open ourselves up to the possibility of growth and transformation. Forgiveness allows us to break free from the cycle of pain and suffering, and to create space for love, understanding, and compassion in our hearts. It is a powerful act of self-love and self-care that can lead to profound healing and personal growth. In the end, forgiveness is not a sign of weakness, but rather a testament to our strength and resilience. It is a choice to rise above the pain and hurt that has been inflicted upon us, and to embrace a future filled with hope and possibility. When we forgive, we are not only setting others free from their wrongdoings, but we are also setting ourselves free from the chains that bind us to the past. It is a powerful act of surrender that can lead to profound peace and liberation.
