Forgiveness is Love.

You need to forgive.

Forgive, because you cannot change the past.

And feeling the way you do about what happened

will not change what is already written into the pages of your life.

And feeling the way you do about the things they do, over and over,

will not change who they are or who they will become.

But it will change who you are and who you will become.

Forgive them, because what happened disappointed you

but it does not define who they are.

They do what they do because of the journey they have had in their own lives.

Forgive yourself, because you hold anger within you

but it does not define who you are.

You do what you do because of the journey you have had in your own life.

Are we all not on our separate journeys, just trying to figure it out?

Forgive them, because you still love them.

You do not agree with them. But you love them.

And because you do not forgive them, you think that you cannot love them.

The love has not disappeared.

It exists, simply buried under the pile of emotions that you have built.

What love has there ever been without any pain?

Forgive them, so that you can love yourself.

Does love not make your life worth living?

If love creates happiness in your life,

then loving them more is loving yourself more.

And if forgiving them allows you to have more love for them,

then forgiving more is loving yourself more.

You need to forgive.
