I appreciate the way that you express people’s challenges and obstacles to forgiving. It is true that what most of us don’t realize is that forgiveness is for us. Forgiveness sets us free.

Thanks for contributing your perspective and experience.

Patrick

I used to think like that before. But I have learnt to let go after looking at things/people as “what happened” and “what is”. I am able to let go easily and forgive self and others.
Having get here, i experience freedom, joy and self expression.
