Forgiveness is Hard but…
Forgiveness is hard and forgiveness doesn’t come naturally to most and being dragged down with shame doesn’t help. It’s an extra burden when we feel like something is wrong with us because it difficult for us to forgive or even consider forgiving.
But alas there is scientific research according to Dr. Frederic Luskin, PhD of Stanford University that backs up forgiveness being tied to our well being and how we can get better at it with practice. So, you don’t have to forgive to be a good person. You can forgive because it’s good for you.
