We are in the world where wrath is dominant– pain which comes along with experiences. 

The nature of a human life lies on rage, a primary feeling or emotion for all the adversaries. Character is only honed when given the right assessment to be fit within one’s lifestyle, the same with teaching oneself with the art of forgiveness. An art that speaks thousands of words and depiction, the way mercy is– unfathomable yet needed only a formation of rationale to accept such actions.

Most of the time, it’s easier to fill our jar with rage towards those who hurt us for the reason that it’s more difficult to acknowledge human errors and mistakes. I believe that time doesn’t resolve thoughts of forgiveness, but rather the intention to admit what had hurt you or have given you pain. The intention to get through such gruesome experience, will not save the other person from your rage but rather yourself from your own wrath. Too much of withholding such emotion or bottling feelings can cause much havoc than what the other person has already wreaked.

Forgiveness is romanticized to be an easy thing to deal with although in reality, it’s a process. As an individual, I find it difficult to be on the forgiving side solely for the gravity of actions and most especially its redundancy despite the said regrets of the other party. Most of the time, people who are on the receiving end of forgiveness tend to overlook such action from you to be a way to continuously harm you despite what they already caused. For this reason, I immensely find it hard to deal with providing them pardon not for my selfishness but their ironic behavior to constantly treat you indifferent. On the other hand, I believe that I am accustomed to forgiving them for their ways but can easily cut them off without providing any more of the access I did give them once.

I managed to feel how gravitating the words are from it and resonate it with my own. The gist of this narrative lies on establishing a mindset; specifically when understanding and letting go has been widely interjected within the word forgiveness. These words are very agreeable because it holistically saves us from deeper pit, away from anger. In its entirety, forgiveness must be a concept where kindness must not be aligned to but rather a standard where such act and commitment is all for yourself. Especially of how much it could provide sanity towards you than living with a life full of wrath, how better could one live with this type of set-up? We have the choice to forgive for the sake of our inner critics, the freedom of leaving toxicity and continue to upgrade one’s life away from the pain people have caused. In the end, it is not just those surrounding you who have caused you pain, we may have also been the person who have wreaked havoc upon one’s life.
