Why You Win Strategically When You Forgive
When someone wrongs us, it’s natural to feel hurt and angry. It’s difficult to forgive someone who has caused us pain, and we may feel that there’s no point in doing so. However, holding onto grudges only leads to more turmoil and strife.
This article explores the idea that forgiveness is not only the right thing to do, but it’s also a strategic choice. It’s hard to forgive, but forgiving the ignorant can lead to peace and understanding. Not forgiving others can lead to seeing them as a threat. And perhaps most importantly, forgiveness can calm the turbulent waters of our own reactions, leading to a more peaceful and centered life.
