The Difficulties of Forgiveness
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.
On the other hand, doling out forgiveness can sometimes be the more difficult of the two (I used to think it was the reverse). When someone has "wronged" you how do you just let it slide? How do you forgive someone, even when they haven't recognized that they've done something wrong? It's easy to get snared up in a mind maze of anger, resentment and even hatred towards someone when they don't admit when they've harmed you (emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually or otherwise).
One thing to remember that the burden of unforgiveness towards another is as destructive if not more than not admitting your own wrong doings. Both, however, should be exercised daily; the giving and asking of forgiveness on a daily basis is one of the necessary principles to, not only keep yourself sane but to stay spiritually sound.
