What is Forgiveness?

[Silverseastar]

For me the hardest part about forgiveness is forgiving myself

So true Venus007. Forgiveness for ourselves first and then it can come for others. If we hold onto being angry at the self we struggle to forgive others. Whatever we can offer ourselves first makes us more capable of offering the same to another- compassion, love, forgiveness, gentleness.

Sometimes this is so much harder than at other times and we even need to be kind to ourselves around the fact that it may just take time.
