Despite all the mistakes a person makes shouldn’t forgiveness always be achievable? Kit forgave many people in her life, she forgave her father even after everything he put her through. Kit forgave her mother for not trying hard enough and she forgave many people that entered her life and made mistakes as well. In the novel “Baygirl” by Heather Smith the theme is that there is always room for forgiveness.…
According to the Oxford Dictionary, the definition of forgive is to stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense, flaw, or mistake. However, there is a deeper meaning to this. Contrary to some of Harold S. Kushner’s statements, I believe that forgiveness is as beneficial for the victim of the crimes as it is for the offender. In fact, I am far more inclined to agree with Jose Hobday’s views. He states that…

Wrongful pain is something you don’t expect to come.

To most people, forgiving is seen as simply accepting an apology given by the one who wronged them. However, forgiving is so much more than just that. Forgiving takes such vast quantities of effort, feeling, and, most importantly, love. There is no forgiveness without love. For if you do not really feel the love in your heart for the person who wronged you, how can you give anything more than a grudging acceptance…
“Forgiveness is not for the weak. Begging able to forgive those who have wronged you is a mark is spiritual strength and confidence. When you forgive, you grow. Your heart begins to heal, you back straightens up, your eyes clear so that you can see the road ahead. Anger is spiritual sicknesses; but when you forgive, you live.” -Wale…

Well this is somewhat not true, it’s kind of a 50/50 situation here .If the person hasn’t forgave you but has moved on from what ever happened it shouldn’t be that difficult to forgive yourself .People make mistakes all the time in the real world and yes some don’t forgive you but you have to go and move on . Really what’s happening is the reason you haven’t forgave yourself and you think it’s so” difficult” is because you’re holding a grudge on yourself and you haven’t moved on from what you did . If you truly loved, liked, etc. that person you wouldn’t have hurt that individual in the first place . What’s the real purpose of it being so difficult is it because if that person doesn’t forgive you, you feel you might be less of a person to him/her. Realize that the person who is trying to forgive you, its way more difficult for him/her than it is for you. Not forgiving yourself is like a wound you pick at it, it’s only going to get worse. Meaning you can’t forgive yourself if you’re only making things worse for you not that individual you hurt.…
I have always heard that “forgiveness is the key to all things, and to be forgiven is a blessing.” The willingness to forgive is a very difficult decision to make and once a person decides to forgive, it closes one door and opens another, and how the relationship ends up is always different. To be the one who is forgiven is a heavy burden that has been lifted off of one 's back. Even though a person may be forgiven, this does not always imply things will be the same. What is forgiveness, what comes out of forgiveness, are things better or are things over, does it mean things are forgotten or does it mean ones behavior has been condoned/excused, there are many questions that arise?…
You must be able to learn how to forgive others. According to the Bible, Matthew 18:22 Jesus answered “I tell you not seven times, but seventy seven times.” What does this verse mean? God tells us here to forgive others not only 7 times but 77 times, no matter how bad the thing the person has done to you. However, we humans are so emotional and we do not let forgiveness enter our hearts. Remember that God sacrificed his very own Son in order to save and to forgive the entire humanity. We must really know how to accept forgiveness…
