Why we should forgive

Forgiveness. This is probably one the most difficult things we can ever do in our existence. Everybody at some stage of life have been involved in actions or situations where the feeling of being badly hurt or deprived of something has been deeply impressed in their mind. Even in our everyday routine we experience, at a lesser extent, conditions where we blame other people for something they did to us. Blame is an antonym of forgive, two opposites like good and evil, and we always drift towards one or the other, but in most cases our instinct will unconsciously chose the negative attribute. It is very easy to blame someone for his/her actions, it is almost a survival tool. In fact, it looks very natural to find the cause of our pains outside of us, because in this way whatever happened is the choice of others, out of our control. We can then judge external actions and blame, hate, looking for revenge. We are good and they are bad, how dare they to do that to us? I want to be clear, though. Many times we are right, some people does really bad things, and we are somewhat victims. Some actions, according to the magnitude of pain we feel at that moment and later on, will definitely find they root into our brain, creating hindering beliefs and an entire highway of neuron connections asking for revenge.

From victims condition we become hunters, and we waste a lot of brain power and time to elaborate plans to give back the very same at the first chance we have. I want to underline again that some things can be very, very bad and 99% of people on this planet and beyond would surely follow this thinking pattern. What is really happening when we get hurt badly? Every single cell of us will vibrate on a particularly negative frequency, resonating with like waves and putting ourselves in the above devastating conditions. Even after years, just a quick memory of the event can trigger those vibrations, and everything will start again, and for many, it will never stop.

If we quiet our mind and think objectively, we can only agree that we should really learn how to forgive and block all this negativity wandering in our brain. Forgive is an act of sending love, how can we ever send loving thoughts to someone who hurt us? We can, this is granted. Many of us will forgive after years of painful thoughts, feeling lighter and free from this slavery. This happens when the our unconscious releases the memory, when our wounds are recovered and the resistance is gone forever, we then forgive.

It would be much better to be able to do this more consciously, without painful wounds blocking us from manifesting happiness for incredible amounts of time. It will require an immense strength I call the power of forgiveness. It’s so easy to hate, blame and looking for revenge, but to forgive we need an higher inspiration, an inspiration from our soul.

I learned how to forgive not long ago, it’s hard. One religion of this planet says “Turn the other cheek to your enemies”, who can do that? We can do it, we must do it.

Try with the little things upsetting you first, and then get the habit.

Say out loud “I forgive you”, it’s already full of love.
