Why are we like this?

Why are we like this? Why is it so hard to forgive someone who admits their mistakes and tries to make things right?

Sometimes the hurt runs so deep that we simply don’t want them in our lives anymore. And that’s completely okay—you don’t have to keep everyone close. But please, forgive them, let it go, and move on.

When you forgive someone, you choose to do good by them, even if they hurt you. They made a mistake—don’t make the mistake of letting it turn you into someone who hurts others.

We gain nothing by holding onto grudges or feeding our anger. Harboring resentment only poisons your own life, not theirs.

We only get this one life. What is the point of wasting it on bitterness?

Forgive, let go, and move forward. Do what good you can in this world, and never use your pain as an excuse to harm, hurt, or speak harsh words to anyone else.

Focus on doing what is right. Don’t worry about how others act—the only person you can ever control is yourself.
