It’s more then that. forgiveness helps oneself to mature and think less one-sided. When filled with anger at a person or situation, it can cloud your own thinking. Take for example victims of child abuse. Many former victims can turn into abusers themselves with their anger. Others are so afraid of abuse occurring, that they stifle their children from leading a healthy life. Understanding what causes abuse and hurt, can lead to finding healthy ways to fight against it. Forgiveness is about letting go of your own feelings. It’s not about excusing someone else’s behavior. It’s about empowering yourself to no longer being a victim. As long as the situation bothers you, you’re still the victim.
