Education​

Have you ever held a grudge? Are you holding one right now? If so how long are you going to hold that grudge before forgiving them? Will it be days, weeks, years? Today I want you to ask yourself the questions, why is it important to forgive? Well if you don't know why, keep reading on and I will try to explain why it is important to forgive. First of all, not forgiving can lead to not only spoiling the relationship with that person, but also with their family and friends. For the simple fact that you refuse to forgive can lead to people losing trust in you. This may have long lasting effects on that friendship even if you choose to forgive later. Lastly, that person may be truly sorry for what they did and are hoping that you forgive them. All it may take is a simply and short "I forgive you" to regain this aquantance's trust back. As long as that person is sorry for what they did it will be easy to get back what friendship you may have lost. In conclusion, you should forgive because it may cause you to lose other relationships, they other person may be sorry for what they did and are hoping that you will forgive them, and lastly it is easy to do and may solve everything.
