Post 3: Learning to Forgive


In my previous post I talked about a situation that had happened with my cousin about a year ago where I completely lost her trust and found it extremely hard to forgive her. After a while I was able to forgive her but was never able to completely get it out of my system. One concept that I found very interesting was ‘Learning to Forgive’. In the book it says that a lot of people “…forgive, but at a distance. They let go of their need to revenge but do not choose to put themselves in a position where the other can hurt them again.”  This is exactly what has happened in my situation. I was able to forgive, but at a distance. Since the incident, I never gave her an opportunity where she would lose my trust once again. Although I wasn’t looking for revenge, I still forgave at a distance.
