In this episode, we discuss how forgiveness is less for the other person and more for ourselves. Do we only forgive when people deserve it? Is an apology a requirement to forgive someone? What is “Sorry?” Forgiveness allows you to not carry the weight, the burden of anger, hurt and resentment. Forgiveness takes time and may include scars and heartbreak but it is key in a journey of healing. So with all of this said, can we really forgive and forget? What is the value of an apology? How do we expect to have wrongness recognized and acknowledged? How does intention, accountability and understanding play a part? Let's find out...
Discussion:
- Should you still forgive when the person who has hurt you hasn't apologized or expressed regret over what has been done?
- Does forgiveness require reconciliation and friendship or do we simply need to move forward respectfully and cordially?
- Is forgiveness an ongoing process or a final decision?
