The subject of forgiveness has been a ongoing theme for me for some time now - longer than I like to admit. I've experienced a lot of pain in my life, and I've had lots of experience at forgiving. However, I'm still fascinated by the process, particularly the correlation (or lack of it) between the intensity of the hurt and my relationship with the person who hurt me.
While I could spend time analyzing how and why I forgive, or don't, it's irrelevant. What matters is that forgiveness is something that I have to do, whether I want to or not, and whether it's easy or not. It's not something I need to do for the people who've hurt me. It's something I need to do for myself. I've written more about the importance of forgiveness and the specific challenges of forgiving a family member at Suite101.
