FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness is letting go of the painand accepting what has happened,because it will not change.
Forgiveness is dismissing the blame.Choices were made that caused the hurt;we each could have chosen differently,but we didn't.
Forgiveness is looking at the pain,learning the lessons it has produced,and understanding what we have learned.
Forgiveness allows us to move ontowards a better understandingof universal loveand our true purpose.
Forgiveness is knowing that loveis the answer to all questions,and that we allare in some way connected. Forgiveness is starting overwith the knowledgethat we have gained.I forgive you, and I forgive myself.I hope you can do the same.
