To forgive or not to forgive, that is the question.

Forgiveness is a peculiar thing. Being able to forgive is such an essential skill, yet many of us are unable to do it. Often times, I hear people complaining about something that someone did to them. It's accompanied with excessive cursing and irrational answers.

We all say things we don't mean in the heat of the moment. Our emotions take over our rational thinking, and that's why people show emotions and become upset. Because we don't know how else to deal with it. If people were able to think things out rationally, then there'd be no need for emotions.

One cannot be truly happy and experience themselves day by day without knowing how to forgive. It's a skill that one must learn, for it's incredibly difficult. I, thankfully, have adopted this way of thinking. I know what not being able to forgive can do to a person.

I'm telling you to forgive the unforgivable. Forgive even when you know you shouldn't and even when it doesn't make sense to others. Let go of the burden that clouds your mind because in reality, not all things are black and white. Not everything comes with an explanation. Not everything follows the laws of logic. Some things just don't make sense, and that's okay. 

Acknowledge, forgive, and move on.
