It’s 2016, and this article really helped me put things into perspective. I’m 48 years old and what just happened to me crushed me deep....thanks for reminding me that forgiveness is more for me! Pray I make it! Thanks!!

I see forgiveness as a form of acceptance. As in, "I don't like what you did, it's not okay with me, I don't want you around me anymore, but neither of us can change it, so I'm moving on."

Forgiveness and acceptance go hand in hand. By accepting their differences, you're forgiving their actions that wronged you.

I often feel like the definition of forgiveness varies from person to person. One person's forgiveness is another person's letting go is another person's free pass. This article seems to embrace the fourth definition from Dictionary.com - "to cease to feel resentment against." There is a difference between forgiveness…

Surely you do not need to forgive others. After all they are being themselves and how can you forgive someone for being themselves? Accept the differences.
