Forgiveness is letting go of the other person's guilt, i.e. removing your resentment towards the other person.
Resentment is a negative reaction to an action that you think is wrong. Maybe both for yourself and for others.
Right or wrong is a subjective concept. For one person, it is normal for everyone to share equally and does not tolerate when others take more than they are owed, even if they need it more. It is normal for another person to take more than what is due to him, because he does not even think about the fact that this is bad, since he would give the needy person as much as he needs.
Forgiveness is an attribute of common sense and a harmonious life. Like everything else in man, it is designed to win through natural selection and survive.
The offended person spends more energy than the offending person. This is not effective. And everything that is ineffective in a person during evolution is removed. And since the offense must be replaced by something – there is forgiveness.
Also, in psychosomatics (the branch of psychology that connects body and mind), the ability to forgive plays a key role in being healthy.
Forgiveness is liberation! If you don't do this, you will remain trapped in the prison cell of your mind, along with your resentment and hatred. And it doesn't matter who is to blame for the fact that you are in this dark place: yourself, circumstances, or other people and their words or actions. Only you and no one else can free you. That's what this difficult but incredibly necessary forgiveness is all about.
