Forgiveness: Is it truly better than revenge?

Forgiveness is a decision to let go of resentments and thought of revenge which is very hard for most people even me.

When we forgive, it does not mean we are unaware of the other person's responsibility for hurting us but forgiveness lessen its grief on us and help us to focus more on positive parts of life.

Being sorry can be very hard at times especially when we are overwhelmed with pride but sometimes our pride needs to take a fall.

And when we have to say sorry, we should mean it from our hearts because a meaningless sorry is like a broken promise to the heart. All we need to do is to correct our mistakes and keep moving on.

If a mother could say sorry to her daughter regardless of the fact that she brought her to this world should make us understand that no matter our position in life, when we go wrong, we should always ask for forgiveness sincerely which would always bring unity, love and growth to our lives.

To have a healthier relationship, stronger immune system and a higher self-esteem, we need to let go of resentments and forgive each other no matter what happens.
