We go through many traumatic experiences in our life . We get emotionally hurt by others during these experiences. We carry the bitterness of these experiences in the prefrontal lobe of the brain 🧠 ( the area of the brain where memory takes it’s throne). Day in and day out we chew the cud of discomfort and misery arising out of these emotional assaults.
Once I was proud to forgive people who were instrumental in hurting me .
But I still continued to harbour the bitter taste of those unpalatable happenings. This remembrance made my life miserable . I turned out to be a caustic individual. One fine day a miracle happened. An enlightening thought swept across my mind. Forgiveness alone does not confer peace . The divine act of forgiveness requires to be followed by the noble action of forgetting them for eternity. The caustic animal is transformed into a kind human being after this change. It is only your option to choose to forgive but yet remember or to chose both forgiveness and forgetting .Forgiving and forgetting is not cowardice or weakness.It requires courage and strength. How can you expect others to forgive and forget your emotional assaults on others when you cannot forgive and forget their doings Forgiveness and forgetfulness open the doors to the blissful corridors of peaceful and blissful coexistence. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
