FORGIVENESS

 

 

ONLY GOD (CREATOR) HAS THE MIGHT TO JUDGE OR FORGIVE US, THE HUMAN BEINGS.

 

WE, HUMANS, INDULGE OURSELVES IN ILLUSIONS THAT WE CAN REPLACE GOD IN JUDGING MOTIVES AND BEHAVIOR OF OTHERS. 

 

THE ONLY HUMAN THAT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE OR FORGIVE IS MYSELF.

 

THE BEST THAT I CAN DO WITH OTHER PEOPLE IS TO ACCEPT THEM EXACTLY AS THEY ARE.

 

FOR THEY ONLY DO WHAT THEY CAN.

 

 

In the psychological, religious and metaphysical spheres the “Forgiveness” became a subtle theme. Or, in other words: “It is simpler to forgive than to confront somebody face to face.”

 

Many people are delighted at the possibility of disburdening them of past abuse and pain by means of forgiveness, and they do their best to convince themselves that they are more perfect than those who are more wrong than themselves. They take all the courage to forgive those who they are convinced have caused them pain.

 

Does it work ? Will the cycle break ? Will this form of justifying oneself ward off the tide of past abuse and paing ?

 

Well, for most people indulging in this “application of a sticking plaster” to heal the wounds of life, … let’s say, it works. Or at least for a moment.

 

But does it eliminate emotional effects of memories of stressful, painful situations, which underestimate the “feeling of a need” to fogive ? No, it does not. Smouldering pieces of coal are still ready to ignite the flames of ashaming and accusing oneself as well as the others.

 

What actually occurs in the meantime, when forgiveness seems to provide us with relief for a moment, if the same anger, fear and feeling of separation returns to chase us with the same questions ?

 

Why “it” worked ? Why are we struggling again with the ever-recurring feelings ? And, should forgiveness not to work, what works then ?

 

Forgiveness may give us a sensation that something has ended, but unless we unblock memories that have caused mentioned negative feelings, we will still be left at the mercy of them.

 

And… is there actually an alternative of forgiving others the sinful acts they committed on us ?
