Thoughts That Touch My Heart

"[Forgiveness in relationships] The Very Weak don't know how to forgive, they only hate and/or get rid of you. The Very Strong forgive, but then never forget — and they never let YOU forget. My advice: Some things might be unforgivable... but if you DO want to forgive them, you need to find a place in between Strong and Weak. Forgiveness isn't the same as acceptance. Accepting how someone hurt you doesn't work, as it means you are okay with what they did... but you CAN forgive and move on… and do it without hate or resentment. To start the process of forgiveness, you just need to realize that what they did wasn't about you... it was about them—their shortcomings."-Charles J. Orlando
