As children, we are often forced to forgive others. If a kid robs his friend's toys, the parents will make them apologize and forgive each other. That apology is considered a manifestation of forgiveness. However, viciousness and contradiction can still be contained in the heart.
As an adult, no one remembers you have to do this thing else. It's rare to hear an apology from someone. Life is lacking sincerity and altruism, the closer the heart, the more resentment.
The following story will help us understand that hatred is the poison and forgiveness is the best medicine for happiness.
The story of the potato
"One day, the teacher asked each of us to bring a clean plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to class.After that, the teacher told us each time we do not forgive someone for mistakes, pick out a potato, write his name and date on it, and put it in a plastic bag. After several days, the bags of many in the class began to grow heavier.
After that, he asked us to always wear the bag around him wherever he went, sleep or work. The hassle of carrying a bag containing dozens of potatoes makes us feel more clearly the mental burden that we are suffering. Not only that, we have to pay attention to it, remember it and sometimes put it in places that are not very sensitive at all.
Over time, the potato begins to decompose into a muddy liquid and we do not want to take it with us ... "
Forgiveness is not the same as keeping the suffering, suffering, and dissatisfaction in the mind. By doing so, you are only suppressing the pain. You will keep thinking about the unhappiness, the wounds that do not pay attention to the optimistic prospects. So forgive first of all is to let go of the negativity of yourself. You have to tolerate yourself to know how to tolerate others.
We often assume that forgiveness is good for the forgiving person, like 'allowing' them to shake off the mental burden. Essentially, forgiveness is a gift for yourself. Forgiveness is to let the past stay and look at the present and the future. Anger and resentment only make us more miserable, lose time thinking and inhibit the sublimation of thought.
A strong person is someone who knows how to forgive. Being tolerant of others means accepting the shortcomings of oneself and altruism with the fault of the enemy. Instead of blaming fate and lamenting on life or other people, take the time to do the things you love, to the people you love and to explore the new land. Would not that make life softer and more beautiful? Life is very short, learn to forgive others, it is also the 'forgiveness' for yourself.
