Forgiveness: What about it?

[Minyatur]

I don't see how anyone has the power to forgive another. Ultimately it'll fill your own heart with love and they will cary their path as another version of you with their own lessons to learn, in their own unique pathway to the source to inevitably reach back to it, which can be possibly faster than you or not.

You must not understand the power of true forgiveness then. To be in a situation where you have been used or manipulated or hurt in such a way,  life is turned upside down, one doesn't know where or how to even begin to make sense of it. To have such a maelstrom of thoughts running about as to the why's and how's of how someone that one cared so much for can do such things. Yet when such events occurred to me and my only thought was to meditate and to go through one of the most intense meditations that I have ever experienced which ended in me verbally forgiving everyone from the person that inflicted such pain to my biological father whom I  had never met,  the energy that I had felt from this experience is as fresh as it happening today even though it happened 3 years ago.  

I was on a literal high for 2 days following this event and I truly believe that it was a lesson that I was intended to learn within this incarnation. 

Well I never felt there was something others needed my forgiveness for. I also never understood why others would apologize for things they do.

In my view to not forgive is to not seek to understand. But well there are many who do not wish to be understood, so in a way not forgiving sometimes is giving exactly what the person wants. Whereas being too much focused on understanding without getting emotionally involved in things, seem to drive some crazy more than help them.

I'm not a fan of blanket forgiveness either, if one does not understand then there's no point in trying to give another that doesn't wish to be understood a focus. But then again, a service of Love even when rejected remains a service and will be remembered at the right time when needed.
