Entry #4 Forgiveness

Is holding on to anger really worth it? It can be so hard to forgive a person. While we try to forgive our anger and pride can take over. We feel as if it is not our obligation to do it. But while we keep thinking we should not do it we need to realize the negative effects that are happening to us because of it.

We are faced with stress and such a negative feeling. We carry that with us and it reflects our actions. We then start to act in a nasty way towards the people we love. Depending on what the situation is it will take some times for us to really be able to forgive.

Being angry all the time can really affect us and bring us down and although there might have been a time where it made us feel strong it will not be the same all the time. Too much anger and we will become weaker. Whether that is spiritually, mentally, or even physically.
