Why do we have to forgive people?

[SeaSnake]

I see a lot of people say especially in our 30s that you need to forgive people for wronging you because holding on to it can hurt you. I get it but I feel like just because I don’t forgive somebody does not mean I’m so ill holding on to what they did or that it’s weighing me down. I don’t feel like not liking somebody is just going to feel you with negative energy.

 

[DMorgan]

Don't believe that bullshit! It's people I ain't forgiving EVER. Some of them have died without me forgiving them and I don't feel no way about it.

 

[Playmaker88]

There is forgiving people for trivial shit then there is forgiving people for monumental shit goes without saying.. petty shit needs to be discarded..

 

[Old Man Cain]

you don't have to forgive people.....just don't let the hurt or anger for that person consume you or knock you off your square

 

[Ironman]

You don't have to forgive anyone it's just that forgiving is more about not letting that pain eat you up inside that's all.

 

[AZTG]

I think the purpose of forgiving people is to make yourself feel better and not hold onto the hurt.

If the shit aint having any negative effects on you, i dont think you have to forgive mfers.

 

[Race Jones]

forgiveness is not mandatory for healing

Depends on what happened and the persons background.

[Young_Chitlin]

Don't believe that bullshit! It's people I ain't forgiving EVER. Some of them have died without me forgiving them and I don't feel no way about it.

 

[Pachá12]

Massa Black Jesus said so.

Fixed that for ya Pleighboi

Can we not turn this into an anti religion thing tho? I get it already, athiest...

 

[Dwayne]

nope. Not me.

Also it cool to try and understand a person and where they are coming from due to the past traumas in their life up until a point.

 

[ImaInfluenza]

I think it’s less about forgiveness and more about letting go, with the thought process being you can’t let shit go without forgiveness. I guess some people can, I had to forgive to let go.

1. Sometimes the person doesn't know how bad they hurt you. I mean, they could do something that seems trivial that has a long lasting effect on your life. So you might think to yourself, "I'll never forgive him/her". But they don't even realize what they did or how it effected you.

2. I know if I did something to somebody I'd want them to forgive me.

3. Some things are unforgivable.

 

[DOS_patos]

What does the persons background have to do with forgiveness?

How they were brought up can affect how they make decisions.

who a person used to date can affect their decisions.

everyone has some level of trauma....if we understand their history....it can help you deal with people better imo
