Please, tell me what forgiveness means to you. Does forgiveness mean that you have released all the pain from what was done to you? Does forgiveness mean no longer holding a grudge yet still dealing with that pain? Or is the act of wanting to forgive with all your heart enough, even if you still hold that grudge as that pain eats you up inside?
Is it true that only time can heal, that the reason why we forgive is simply because we forget and the emotions grow numb? Or when we say we forgive someone we are simply pretending because we love them, and that no amount of time will ever really erase the pain of our scars? How is it possible to have such conflicting feelings of love toward someone yet still harbor such emotions of pain associated with them as well? How do you will love to win?
I want to know how you forgive. You don't have to give examples of situations if you don't wish to or feel free to if that is what you desire. Emotions and such abstract ideas such as forgiveness are difficult concepts to truly grasp and I want your thoughts.
Thank you.
