Long time and no update.
I apologize for updating this blog so rarely but sometimes you just feel lazy and ifes comes in between.
Today I wil talk about forgiveness and why it is important to learn how to forgive those who have hurt us.
Ajahn Amaro says in a talk and he is the abbot of Amaravati buddhist monastery "If we can llearn how to forgive and don't carry around any kind of grudge then no one wil be afraid of us", I think this quote summarises it quite wel why it is important to learn how to forgive people.
I believe that you are hurting yourself more than the person who have hurt you if you carry around any grudge towards him/her an cannot forgive. So therefore you can instead think that the person didn't know any better and humbly forgive him or her for his/her deeds/acts of ill-will against you.
I did that this night when I was going to sleep and then I made a quick thought about persons that have hurt me or that I have hurt, then I humbly forgive each one of them including mysellf for my mistakes. Rememeber that every human being makes mistakes so if you want to llive a more peacfull and happy life you will have to llearn how to forgive others properly.
When I did that I almost instantly felt feelings of ease and love towards the world and that noonen can harm me as much as my own thoughts. If you think about it is quite true.
I willl also add in my exce document that I have learned how to forgive and wgy it is important to do so for ones happiness and well-being.
