Forgiveness


Hating on someone, that's easy. Forgiving on that someone is hard to do. How can forgiving be so hard? Well how can I forgive that person? That one I always hate from the face to the name. The actions that knock me down were performed by that person. Made me from crying to moving to rejecting to hating. Maybe I thought that I can let out all of this anger in me by hating so I will feel the happiness again. This anger and hatred kept getting bigger. Then it was produced as a routine for my life. Wake up, hate, hate, hate, eat, hate some more, then go to sleep. The feeling kept getting stronger, and stronger and stronger. So strong that I forgot the good things in loving. Then it took over me. I have to solve it. By how? How? "Forgiveness" people told me, "Forgiveness can me you feel better." Now why and how? Why forgiveness, the good, can be performed on that person, who made my life a living hell? Then I learned once I started to forgive, my anger will reduced, big time. "I forgive you." I thought in my head. That one doesn't have to have the knowledge but I have the knowledge that I can move on.
