What is Forgiveness?
In the strictest possible terms Forgiveness is the process of bringing an end to resentment and / or anger that began as the result of an argument, a perceived difference, an offensive comment or a mistake.
Forgiveness for former wrongs can be bestowed on people living or dead and
without the need for something called restorative justice. However the forgiver would normally expect an
apology or a resolution to the situation before granting forgiveness.
It is often the case that when people become so intent on receiving an
apology or punishing the offender this,
in itself, creates the destructive emotion we know as anger.
Looking at this from a position of Solution
Based Thinking (something that my fellow coach Tom Armstrong and I have
written a small book about) we see that seeking forgiveness creates a barrier
and is not necessary. It falls into the same category as approval seeking, both
of which are totally unnecessary.
The truly enlightened soul
can honestly say that “I may like you to forgive, I may want you to forgive but
I don't NEED you to forgive me in order for me to function”
It is important to recognise that everybody has imperfections and if you
can see beyond that state, then the act of forgiveness becomes an unnecessary.
Buddhists say “He abused me, he struck me, he overcame me, he robbed me –
in those who harbour such thoughts hatred will never cease”
Forgiveness is truly a selfish and self gratifying state because when you
actually look at it closely you are the only person it affects.
What Is Anger?
What Is Anger?
Similarly ANGER is a destructive emotion – how useless it is to harbour
anger. Who does it really affect and
more importantly who does it benefit in the long term?
Does it affect the perpetrator of the event that angered you?.- NO!
Does it benefit (the) you? - it may help to “let off steam” in the initial
moments but in the long term there are no benefits for anyone.
Does it give you pleasure? - NO! - Long term anger has a detrimental effect
and has been proven to lead to illness and disease.
The only person affected by your anger is ultimately YOURSELF
You carry around feelings that stop you from enjoying what is really
there.
You see the bad in people
It follows naturally, that since Universal Law says that what you focus on
you will attract, you will continually see that people are “bad”
If you allow the blinkered vision to become clear it is a fact that you
will see things all around you that you may never have seen before.
You may also discover that there are things happening that caused the event
that angered you and about which you know nothing. For in truth, you have absolutely no idea
what is happening in the other person's world.
You may think know what is happening but I can state categorically that
you have no idea why they have done what they have.
So as I bring this article to a close I will ask of you just one thing –
Please do not judge people unless you
are prepared for them to judge you in the same way. If you call someone a thief then be prepared
for them to return the same judgement on you.
Is your life so perfect that you can make that call?
