One day you are going to be hurt by someone's words or
actions toward you. It is only natural to be upset by it. But if
you allow the negative feelings toward this person to fester, you might find
yourself filled with bitterness and anger. These feelings only hurt
you. So you need to learn to forgive. Forgiveness doesn't mean you
excuse what the person did to you. Forgiveness allows you to separate the
act from the person. It gives you permission to replace anger with love. In
so doing you bring yourself inner peace which helps you to move on with your
life.
