The Power of Forgiveness.

Just a quick little post about this video I saw on the news earlier this week. This video is something from the media and something I feel people should watch. It is about a 10 minute story on forgiveness. I suggestion you all watch.

I mean, I know that just about every single one of you has or have been extremely pissed off at someone and as a result, stop talking to them or just completely wipe them out of your life for good. But, I definitely give these people credit for having the power and courage to forgive the person who has changed their lives forever. Especially the circumstances in which these young people have had to deal with for the rest of their lives based something the "doer" did. 


As someone who used to hold grudges, I grew up and learned that holding onto anger and grudges does nothing but make YOUR life miserable and stressful in the long run. It also affects the health of your life because holding onto too much anger has been proven to cause more stress, anxiety and even depression for some. Bottom line: don't hold grudges and in time, learn to forgive people. I mean, you can forgive someone and still not forget what was said or done; but, forgiving will at least end the anger peacefully. You don't have to become "buddy buddy" with the person again; but, at least you can be neutral toward one another. People need to learn how to forgive; but not forget.

This story is definitely a good story that I feel shows something that we should see more of.... Why hold grudges, ya know? As Buddha said-- "Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; You are the one who gets burned."
