Forgiveness is the best revenge. You might have heard that quote before, but have you ever wondered how it's revenge?

That's because forgiving someone for their mistake is the most difficult task in the world. If you give people a second chance knowing they've hurt you in the past, you are a courageous​ person!

Taking revenge is easy, but you need to admit that everybody makes mistakes, and that includes you. Maybe you aren't ready to forgive someone today because of some kind of wrongdoing. But consider this - what if tomorrow it's you who stands guilty in front of them, and they do exactly the same thing? Would you like to have that forgiveness, or would you prefer the grudge?

It hurts when someone breaks your trust, but if you give them a second chance, he may prove deserving. Most people appreciate the second chance.

It's another thing if someone keeps breaking your trust. But you may ask, why you should forgive someone who did wrong to you? In this article, we'll discuss some of the important reasons why you should forgive people and move on with your life.

1 - Peace of mind

Forgiving someone makes you open-minded and you start to welcome the fact that there will be new experiences in your life. That isn't to say that you should stop using your past experiences as a torchlight. When you forgive someone, it reduces your anger and you start feeling relaxed. It's strange ​but true.

Forgiveness is the most difficult the moment someone deceives you, and that's the reason why you should never take any action when you are angry; it often leads to poor decisions. I am not expecting you to forgive someone while you are angry, but when they come back to you and seek forgiveness, then it's much better to forgive and accept the reality.

2 - A sign of strength:

Forgiving someone is the sign that shows how much strength you have. Just like I mentioned in the beginning, it's easy to get mad and punish someone for their mistakes, but it's difficult to open your arms and welcome the person who just broke your trust.

Again, forgiving shouldn't make you blind from your past experience. Expect him to repeat the mistake and keep that in mind. Your expectation will make you ready to face it if that time should come, and you'll act more wisely in that moment.

3 - Forgive but never forget

The most important reason to forgive someone is that forgiving doesn't mean you've forgotten the past. It's just a sign of your strength and shows how kind you are. Past experience is like the light of a torch that can be used in the darkness. The more experiences you have, the brighter the torch becomes, and the better the decisions you'll make in the future.

When you forgive someone, you actually enter into back into the darkness, but with a brighter light than before. Want to test yourself how you react in the darkness? Just forgive someone and put yourself into the darkness by keeping the torch in hand. Use it to make sure that you don't fall somewhere again.

Every grudge you hold is another chain that binds you. The more you dwell on the past, the more chains will tie you down. Let those grudges go and free yourself from those chains.
