QUOTES:
“Forgiveness is an emotional tool for emotional issues.”
“So you have to come to terms with what’s important to you, and how you can understand the person who harmed or traumatized you.”
“Forgiveness liberates the soul and it removes fear.”
“Since forgiveness can give you more confidence, more creativity, more productivity, more time, less fear and more money, I would say give it a try.”
I am have been pondering on this important matter Forgiveness,and what it has caused in the area of my work, which is conflict and peace interventions. many Nigerians do not have the spirit to forgive, rather they act on what I have personally called ” forvenge”. Applying the principles of forgiveness in our work and making sure both the society and religious bodies- the mosques and church leaders talk about it, and others as well, would immensely heal alot dangerous and wicked outbursts. I like us to find a way to help me work on forgiveness, teach people and let me see it work.
Obi Peter-forgiveness does not have to be a public thing; it is internal and no one else needs to hear anything about it. If you forgive someone else, you are also forgiving yourself as being a part of the problem as well as the solution. Forgiveness does not work outside of oneself so the only way you would see it work is if yourself and others had more inner peace. This could take time, however, what else is there to do except to take the time to forgive and love?
I very much agree with your words, Joanne that forgiveness does liberate the soul and removes fear. What an incredible gift to give oneself and ultimately all of us, really! Thank you.
Thanks Maureen Nowicki. Fear is what holds us back and if we can have this tool of forgiveness, why not use it? Thank you for your excellent feedback.
Forgiveness let’s beauty back into your life.
Forgiveness certainly does let beauty back in your life Dr. Mary Lippitt! Many people are afraid to forgive because they want to hold on to the pain. No pain required!
Thank you for pointing out that forgiveness does not mean acceptance. This is not well understood. We do have the choice to focus on the dark or the light.
We all have choices we just don’t realize it. Thanks Dr.Mary Lippitt.

Thanks Dennis! It is an amazing power and emotional tool that can be used by all.
