One of the greatest abilities given to human beings, and one of the most important on the spiritual path, is the ability to forgive. Forgiveness is not condoning someone else's hurtful behaviour, or saying that no mistakes were made. Forgiveness does not mean that the perpetrator should not be punished.
Forgiveness means that we, as humanbeings on the path of spirituality, must release the pain, anger and grudges which act like a vice on our heart, suffocating us in their grip, and wrenching out our vital energy and life force. Forgiveness remoes the vice from our hearts and allows us to breathe, live and love freely.
When someone hurts us- knowingly or unknowingly, purposely or accidentally- we have three ways of dealing with that hurt.
