Yes. True forgiveness and ‘all’ forgiveness does mean to ‘Forget’ and it also means to ‘Re-Love’
But, that’s a conscious decision one ‘choose’ to make - in taking the‘affirmative’ steps,
and that’s with affirmations, mantras, discussions, meditations and an open heart...
To truly forget and wipe the slate clean, and that is a true reality, to have no anger, falseness, or mental chatter left about the situation, one must genuinely go through the motions of self healing and learning of ‘Forgiveness’
You see we are all human, we will always have feeling , we will always have a hurt, or be hurt of some sort, we will always have a judgement, and a thought from that, of how ‘we’ and only ‘we’ perceive a situation,
No matter how slight those things are within us, we will always have them, to one degree or another...
So my experience says – Do not react to what you believe is a personal attack or hurt, do not react,
as that reaction is a knee-jerk retaliation, it’s a counter blow, and no matter how nicely people put that into words, it’s still a reaction. So Just stop and take a breath, walk away, then go back into your minds time ‘rewind’ the minds DVD, and honestly look at how the whole situation came about, walk through it, step by step, hear the words, and do have your emotions expressed if need be...
But, look at the big picture... see the story, re-watch the movie, watch it again if need be, looking at
Yourself in the movie, how did you interact, and impact with the situation,
and were you really meant to be there?
And only then can one make a good decision as to whether you need to ‘act ‘at all upon a matter, and only then, if that’s what you choose to do!!!!.. That self educated, learned, knowledged, sensible reaction can also be a good thing, as it can change a negative course ‘perception thought’ into a better understanding thought.. And in that interim, you’re learning and slowly being self responsible for
‘self actions’, and that self-love and self-care for ‘self’ and others, and that leads to real forgiveness.. But that takes passion, courage, heart, belief, letting go and experience....
So many people, talk the forgiveness talk, but, they forget to first walk the forgiveness walk,
And, that responsible walk is to ‘True Genuine Forgiveness’.... and that also take much practice... But, when that happens, you will see something ‘very special’ happen... I can’t actually tell you what that will be, as it will give it away, and stop that learning journey from happening, but, it will definitely happen and be very noticeable....
