forgive from "summary" of Water from My Heart by Charles Martin

Forgiveness is a concept that is difficult to grasp, especially when someone has hurt us deeply. It's like trying to hold on to water - the more we try to grasp it, the more it slips through our fingers. Yet, forgiveness is not about condoning or excusing the wrong that was done to us. It is about releasing ourselves from the burden of anger and resentment that we carry in our hearts. When we hold on to bitterness, we are like prisoners in our own minds, trapped by the pain of the past. Forgiveness, on the other hand, sets us free. It allows us to let go of the hurt and move forward with our lives. It doesn't mean that we forget what happened or pretend that it didn't hurt us. It simply means that we choose to release the negative emotions that are holding us back. Forgiveness is not easy. It requires a willingness to let go of our pride and ego, to look beyond ourselves and see the humanity in others. It is a choice that we make, a conscious decision to release the grip of anger and resentment that binds us. It is a process that takes time and effort, but the rewards are immeasurable. When we forgive, we are not only setting ourselves free, but we are also opening the door to healing and reconciliation. Forgiveness is a powerful force that can mend broken relationships and restore peace to our souls. It is a gift that we give ourselves, a way to move forward with grace and compassion. In the end, forgiveness is not about the other person - it is about us. It is about letting go of the past and embracing the present with an open heart. It is about choosing love over hate, compassion over anger, and peace over conflict. It is a choice that we make every day, a commitment to ourselves and to the world around us.
