Over the years and growing into an adult, I have come to realize that hurt 😔 from our fellow humans is what we can not escape. And this very thing called hurt is also what others can face in our hands because as humans we can never be perfect in our dealings with others.
So I believe hurting in general has become part of the human existence whereby, it surely will happen in the circumstances of life journey because despite what ever we do to avoid people stepping on our toes or vise vasa, hurt 😢 is definitely bound to occur intentionally or unintentionally.
We have been hurt by others in several ways, and the worst being that some hurt leaves a lasting memory which is why carry the pain for years, struggling with our feelings and emotions because of how deep it was and how we feel we can never let go, even while those that has caused us this pain has moved on with life not even caring most times.
And with this feeling in our hearts ♥️, it takes so much longer for us to realize how the pain keeps eating deep into us, making forgiveness impossible with time. But forgiveness at the long run becomes the only way out for our peace of mind and moving forward. Forgiveness is the only resolution we have to make for the sack of our peace of mind even when we feel we can never forget the incident of the hurt 😢.
And in the cases of forgiveness, I see it as what we as humans can easily decide to do after someone has hurt us, either to move on in life or for the sack of our peace of mind but I also see that sometimes forgiving becomes so difficult to accept because of the gravity of the hurt and how intentional we see it to be. I mean, some hurts are so visibly intentional that you keep asking yourself, “can I ever forgive this person?”
I have been hurt severely, some being just a hurt I will think 💭 over in just some moment and feel its not worth anything to keep malice about. So I will simply let it go. But some hurt that are so deep and intentional is where I have it up to my neck, trying to figure it all out with unending time and feelings of not wanting to forgive. I was hurt by someone close to me few years ago, and this incident affected my moving forward financially because after my time investing in his project of millions of money 💰, he refused to settle me as promised, making all the plans I had then to crash. Nit that he does not have the money to settle me to move on, but those who do not want a successful future for you will do all they could to keep you stagnant, forgetting that no man is greater than God the Creator
And because it became a very big hindrance to my moving forward with the pace of time, I saw it as something very huge. A hurt I carried for years, wanting not to let go. So these are why we dwell in pain, emotional depression, unhappy ☹️ for a very long time until we realize that we need to stop for the sack of our well-being and the future.
Long lasting pain , unhappiness, depression, all from hurt is so draining to the extent that we can’t focus to look towards the future. So it’s very important to always see forgiveness as what we need to do for our own well-being. Although sometimes it feels so difficult 😞. And especially because those who hurt us does not care for apology, but instead keep living their lives, forgiveness even became what we must do for ourselves.
