The Principle of Forgiveness & Reparations: Life is substantially improved when I forgive others promptly and seek forgiveness for my wrongs. I also need to make reparations for all harm done.
A difficult problem faced by many people who have practiced this program is deciding on how to make reparations for past harm done. It is easy to admit you were wrong. It is easy to say, “I’m sorry.” But how do you make it right?
The Principle of Forgiveness & Reparations: Life is substantially improved when I forgive others promptly and seek forgiveness for my wrongs. I also need to make reparations for all harm done.
Many of us don’t realize the extent of the damage we have caused in other peoples lives. We tend to down play the results of our selfishness, self-centeredness, pride and ego. We tend to forget those situations and circumstances that have hurt others. The truth is that we may not realize that someone we care about or even someone we may not even care too much about is suffering or hurting from our past actions or words.
Accepting, giving or asking for forgiveness takes a surrender of the mind. Learning to surrender the pride and ego in all three situations will lead to a life of successful forgiveness. It will lead to a freedom never before experienced; a freedom that few in our sick world ever experience.
Still having difficulty? Just pray about it.
Life is substantially improved when I forgive others promptly and seek forgiveness for my wrongs.
Seeking for forgiveness is often times easier than giving forgiveness. Once you've learned to say that you're sorry for wrong doings, misunderstandings, etc. it becomes actually quite easy. Admission of guilt lifts an immediate burden from your shoulders and from your mind.
