Forgiveness Can be Relative

It’s all merely relative. How we relate and how we translate within the very words in which we write. While reading this evening I came across a write with regards to forgiveness a few times not just by one. What really is relative within forgiveness? I think it’s the essence of truth. I find that many people from a variety of places one commonality which encompasses the areas of forgiving. We forgive when we wish to be a peace with our own selves. Peace ties in with several things but that is within each persons own sphere from which and how they live. No two people are completely alike nor do they have the same situations but there are commonalities. That is what makes each one of us unique.

I think of it this way, if I was able to not recall nor remember anything I would never have any assumptions. Within the spirit of a child, within the first year of birth they don’t assume anything they just act upon the guidance of life. They will go out and just do things without thinking much at all about anything. Do they have anything to forgive or forget? I think most would agree that they is energy within progress. Within each person life stream they have the ability to be neutral, passionate, yet then again it's all within the unique characteristics that make up each and everyone. As from the moment of birth they are gaining in several manners. Now as that child comes to get older they tend to merge into an area in which they have learned and have a history and yet they are still a work in progress.

As adults we tend to achieve a point where we do have a history and we do have areas in which encompass all that has been achieved and all that comes along with it. Each person has a different manner in which they find is all relative and find to be within the essence of truth. Yet that very essence is something that is truly an independent. There isn’t any duplicates of any person that are traits with are exactly alike. So within each person life there are areas in which there is something in which we all do find that we relate on and there are areas that only we know from our own experience on how to render the best within the mileage or the yesteryears as well as within the moment. Forgiving is truly being in harmony with oneself. As the saying goes, “you can’t be good for anyone unless you are your own best friend.” Each one of us has things in which we have had to exercise that ability of forgiveness yet where do we derive the truth within forgiveness? I would tend to think that forgiveness is within oneself. It’s being able to be content with oneself and much like the child that never presumes anything but is within the beginning of there lives there is that ability to find that truth within oneself. Truth is something that ties into the value of belief and believing is in seeing the arrays of what can be, and rendering that inner compass that brings about that pathway in which leads within a harmonious manner. Being at peace is when we find that contentment. Perhaps forgiveness is within the spirit and manner in which we don't hold on to things of the past but find to good in the past and forge ahead within our desires within our life stream.  As life is really a stream of several things which encompass for each and everyone that ability to render forgiveness, yet you will find that most people are too busy build than forgiving as they have nothing to forgive as they are well based and are within an area of fulfilling the spirit with brings about the that easy going manner. Which brings about a glow within the spirit of mankind.

What is within the moment becomes history within minutes hence seize the moment and never dwell on the past as it’s within one’s one choice in which they decide in how they wish to live life and abide by the terms that they deem fit. Everyone has a passionate area in which they have. Within the passion regardless of what it may be, there is that ability in forgiveness by the very means of placing emphasis within the areas in which bring about the gifts within life. Those gifts are most often found in those that find the values within life.

Forgiveness is when we are content from within. It's all relative and universal. Pending on how one desires. Not one of us has exact same desires but there is a mutuality that I find to be the essence of life. Never think for a moment that life is not a gift. How we tend to be all consumed and when we step out of our own sphere that might be when we find and regard to our own desires and within why we forgive and when we forget.

  2. There is a definite truth to your words for sure. Sadly though there are many who prefer to dwell on the negatives in life and these poor souls never forgive because they pefer to remember the hurt. I guess its ego really. When one has to examine ego one has to accept oneself entirely ... faults and all.
    There are always two sides to every story and I guess its those who can see the positives that are the more fortunate. It must be a pretty miserable life harbouring negatives ...

  3. I don't harbour any negative feelings against anyone for long. And sometimes that is also wrong for I never put myself at the helm. I have already forgiven the person that hurt my feelings for yearsss. And that's enough ... it stopped there. I have to move on. How easy sometimes to say and utter the word "forgiveness" if you aren't the one at the losing end ... but i don't want to be the one carrying the burden. Maybe that is the reason am always happy. Thou' of course there are times that the hurts still find its way ... but then again, that is life. Being miserable at times can be good for it is only then you'll feel how it is to happy and feel from the heart how it is to love and be loved ... if ever, again.

    tight hugs :)

    Great.

  4. When we let go of any bitterness or grudges, we heal ourselves. This radiates a different energy which can help heal others.

  6. Lynne, to each there own there are people that sit on a fence of judging and then there are people that just go about life.

  7. It's all within one own state of mind, body and soul.

  8. Yeah this is really how it is but I don't think one wishes to have that energy within life for healing others but just within
    living life within a manner that goes forwards within there own manner an way, without bitterness or jealousies and all
    those negatives - rather living within a positive way.

  9. In truth, each of our life experiences is simply a series of choices that each of us make, that in turn, create additional situations that require more choices....each choice made will normally result in an action or reaction (and even chain-reaction) , that will be either a consequence or reward at some level. And so it goes....for the actions and reactions of those around us, and even within ourselves, create, yet, new situations that demand more choices. Our choices indicate our maturity, both spiritually, and also as a spirit, residing in a physical body, having a human experience. We always have a choice to pick positive actions and decision, and live in "the light", or wallow in the negative, dark side.

  10. Every action results with a chain reaction which encompasses choice - and really what DJ had mentioned was much of what we either create or otherwise. We certainly do have that choice and it's how we create things within our own stream. So I thought I would just glow with my writes as after I read you blog I it inspired my write last night. One can think within the manner within the manner which they wish. My choice is within a positive one rather than a negative. But each on looks at things in there own manner and this is where we do find common grounds with other online, in life, and during times of recovering - which I am right now - it's been 18 days since I left out of a hospital and I look at things in much of a different manner. So I am not an idealist but I am literally nurturing a good change. But we all have something. There is not one person that has not had something to deal, but what I find it's all within outlook, and perspective.
    Thanks Sous..

  12. YES! We all have our own personal paths and truths that we create during our life experience...each different from another, but also somewhat intertwined. Keep up the good work in your recovery. I know that you'll stay in the positive light.

  13. Here on lunch so I just have a minute which is hard for me to reply in lol but the simplest thing I can think of may be best for me anyways. Forgiveness frees us from the negative effects of harboring ill feelings and becoming bitter. It releases the other person or people also but we don't need to remain in the situations that are hurtful , forgive, move on and when thoughts of the past hurts come to haunt make a positive choice to not let them destroy the good things of today. We really can choose what to dwell on ! For every negative thought flood our minds with positive..feed our spirit with light , love, joy and so on. Ooops I knew I couldn't reply in just a sentence haha have a great day

  16. I feel it's all within choices and we can think and think or we can act upon our words. I literally since October 11th have really been walking my writes and I have no time for the negatives. Yet I don't get all too caught up with things. I just flow with it all as I just got into this write last night - it's really not anything that we don't already know Cheryl. I am not on here to look at other but after I did some reading and responding this word of Forgive, came to mind and I just went with a flow with this post.

    Peace...

  17. now that would be something, one would be just like a child I think. not worrying about what others think or worrying about trust issues, because a child trusts most people.

  18. Suzy really wouldnt they, it would really be good in some ways pending ones perspective - if was just a thought that I had as I think that if we forgot everything completely it would be something to see how we would be and how we would act - I am not sure if you remember that movie called, "Regarding Henry" starring Harrison Ford. Hiya!

  19. hey Jack your post reminds me of the scripture "forgive us our sin's as we forgive thou's that trespass against us"

    I think personally we all need to be able to forgive as you mentioned we do things as children that shape our very lives ahead without even realising it. it is not until we can first forgive ourself for these childhood mistakes but then we have to seek forgiveness from those we sinned upon as children in earnest sometimes it does really mean saying sorry to someone in order to know they have forgiven you other times as in Karma's way we have to ask Jehovah to forgive us and really mean it not just ask again like you mentioned in a false or shallow effort.

    I believe the weight of all we do is the burden upon our heart that defines our very nature as a person in adulthood. Many people blame Karma for all that is bad in their life and continue to treat everyone badly without ever giving an act of kindness a chance and see the beauty of a different side of life one filled with much happiness that comes over time from these good acts.

    to forgive and mean it in all honesty is the first step what one does after this is truly up to themself

    will they have peace and success in life from that point or will they behave like they did before and return to the self hating life style only one's self can answer the question.

  20. I haven't seen that one, but I will put that on my list of movies to watch, sounds good. :)

  21. For me, this (quote) best describes why it is so important to forgive.

    “When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”

  22. People can literally make themselves sick in many ways by holding onto hurts, grudges, resentments. It's very hard to forgive someone who has wronged you, we don't want that sense that they are getting away with it. But, to truly forgive frees our hearts, and we can move on, and we can tread cautiously with those who are hurtful so it doesn't happen again. Our act of forgiveness can have a ripple effect, and could actually change a hurtful person down the road.
