a lot of us find it hard to forgive the person we hate... it's a common thing for most people... and the prime factor why they find it hard to forgive is because they are so "proud".. or in simpler terms, they use their pride...
it's natural for us humans to be proud but we have to limit it.. especially in times when the person who did something wrong is honestly sorry for what he/she has done... using your pride instead of forgiving the person will not benefit you at all... it's no good and it's a sin... a terrible sin... but most of all, it will hurt...

now, the reason why i wrote this blog is to open up the minds of those people who, if ever they read this blog, will learn how to forgive... i'll tell you what is it and why you should forgive....

what is forgiveness? i honestly found a very good answer to that.... here it goes... forgiveness is like the fragrance that flowers release after you have crushed it.. you understand it?? no?? well then here's a simple explanation... it's when you forget all the ugly things and accept the apology of the person even after you have suffered a lot from him and the bad memories keep bugging you... truly, it's very hard especially when your pride is telling you not to forgive the person... it's really hard to forgive especially when your mind is telling you, "why should i?? i suffered a lot and so should he/she." but once you overcome it, an undescribable pleasure comes out...

another thing is why should we forgive?? if you would base it on the bible, they bible said love your enemies and do not be like them who has only hatred inside their hearts (not exact words but somewhat like that...) yes it's true... hard again... but, we have to overcome that obstacle and the resistance to forgive....

my personal answer to why we should forgive is this... it's really hard to live a life wherein your heart is part filled with hatred and there's something in you that you know is not right... that's the "pride" in us that is useless... it's hard to overcome the overwhelming pride inside us especially when it is at its highest level... it's a fact that most of us will automatically choose pride over forgiveness without knowing... but if ever you read this blog, i hope that you think it over and you might/will forgive the person who did something wrong to you... just remember "a black and bitter heart will lead you nowhere".... "evil lingers in the hearts of those who doesn't know how to forgive" and my favorite, "you will never be happy or peaceful inside if you hold a grudge against somebody"...
