How to use "Forgiving" in context?
The harder we try to hold on to the past, the more bitterness and resentment build over time. When we focus on the wrong things and make comparisons, we keep ourselves stuck in a cycle of negative emotions. In order to move on and heal, we need to forgive.
forgiving doesn't mean forgetting. It means acknowledging that the hurt we experienced was real, and that it's okay to feel anger, sadness, and hurt again. It means letting go of the need to have the other person "account for" our pain.
