Vengeance In The Informational Text 'Understanding Forgiveness'

Forgiveness is what holds and brings relationships together. If you stay angry for long, your heart stubbornly hardens. But if you choose to forgive, you will be filled with the grace of God. We are all sinners and should never carry a

The idea of justice should be based on the idea of forgiveness. A popular attempt at achieve justice is to “forgive and forget”, however this idea is not the best method. To forgive means to recognize that someone has done something wrong and is attempting to fix it, and in turn, you must accept this attempt in order to move forward. Holding grudges is a part of the Human Condition in the sense that we struggle to get over instances of people wronging us, instead of getting over it, we deeply desire revenge. However this is something that we must move past in order to reach true justice.

Forgiveness is something that everyone struggles with at some point. Forgiving anyone can take time and is sometimes very hard to accomplish. In Tuesday's with Morrie, by Mitch Albom, we learn that it is essential to forgive ourselves by letting go of our regrets because what we have now may not always be there. It is always important to look at life as it is now with a positive view, holding a grudge will only damage your response to living.

Forgiveness is a voluntary process and only time can heal all wounds. Scratch that- time won’t heal all wounds and forgiving someone is totally and completely up to you. When stating that forgiveness is “voluntary,” it simply means that one is forgiving someone at their own free will. The question is “why? why must we forgive someone after doing something so awful?” The answer might be complex. In the book “Picking Cotton” by Jennifer Thompson-Cannino, Ronald Cotton and Erin Torneo, and in the book “Beauty for Ashes” written by Joyce Meyer, forgiveness is portrayed as a big role. Each person goes through their own struggles and eventually has to forgive someone or be forgiven by someone.

This is may be true for some individuals, but the benefits of forgiving are greater. A weight can lift off one’s shoulders when they choose to forgive someone of a debt or wrong-doing. They will not hold a grudge anymore and that dark presence in their life can disappear. Revenge still won’t satisfy justice because it will just continue as a never-ending cycle. The one that takes revenge will only be paid back with a revenge in return. The cycle of grudges and violence will never end until someone forgives. Whatever reasons people may use to validate revenge, they must face the truth that forgiveness is always a better

In order to forgive, it’s crucial to recognize the reality of what happened and how you were affected. Accept how you felt and how you reacted. Forgiveness frees you from the addictive adrenaline thoughts of retribution or revenge can generate, as well as the destructive tendency to self-identify as a victim.

Even though many people think that forgiving won’t get anyone anywhere, or help anyone, they are wrong. Forgiveness is key to life, without forgiveness people would never be able to have any relations with anyone, mistakes are a part of life and mistakes happen. The way people take the mistake show people what kind of person they will become, and forgiving someone can change a person’s life.

When a wrongdoing occurs, people usually take two sides, one being vengeance/revenge and the other being forgiveness. The right choice is forgiveness, because it will lead to peace of mind and a clear conscience. Getting revenge against someone for something they did to you, only gives them validation for their actions, however if you forgive them, they will be the ones who look bad. In the Story Ashes of Vengeance, Henry Van Dyke uses imagery to demonstrate that vengeance does not lead to peace of mind, forgiveness does.

Forgiving somebody once can make forgiving easier the next time. If the betrayal is expected, it will not surprise the betrayed as much, and therefore lessen the

Do you ever think maybe at some point you want to be forgiven for a mistake you’ve made or feel the need to get justice upon another person. Well people are constantly being forgive for forgiving. People are also getting revenge but then just feel like that wasn’t the right way to handle things.

In a lot of situations people want revenge because they loved or had a deep connection with what happened to whomever it might be or what it might be.

To start, forgiveness is a good action that results in better consequences. Forgiveness can only be great and rewarding due to the fact that moving on and leaving the past behind is what the main focus truly is. As demonstrated, the film Simon Birch shows a young boy named Simon and his best friend Joe. Simon was picked on numerous times from his physical limitations and

The article “To Forgive is Good but Sometimes I Want to Stay Mad”, by Bob Brody, discusses the need for forgiveness. Brody argues that in some situations forgiveness is not necessary. In his article he lists many scenarios which would require a tough forgiving. He talks about the perks of not forgiving and why forgiving is not always the best way to settle a dispute. Brody offers a strong argument and even recognizes that some believe that forgiveness is good for the mind, soul, and preventing medical complications; such as, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and depression. Brody’s claim that forgiveness is not always necessary is flawed because grudges do not help recovery of the transgression, grudges do not equalize the wrongdoing, and

In conclusion forgiveness is important and should happen in relationships. It helps lives daily,and if forgiveness didn't happen then there would be many broken friendships and relationships. The future will go smoother with forgiveness, and relations with people will be

Forgiveness is something that is not fully understood in todays culture. Forgiveness is an art. It is an art because many people look at art and say “ Oh thats just colors splattered together”. Many people look at forgiveness and say “ Oh well im sorry thats all I can do”. These are both incorrect outlooks. Each picture an artist creates has a hidden meaning that you will only see if you really look beyond the shapes that your brain see’s. Forgiveness is more than just accepting the fact that someone apologized. It is remembering the anguish and hurt that they caused you and willing to put it all in the past and move forward with your life. Anyone can lie and say that their over it, but only those whose heart are free of the anger really understand the art of forgiving someone.

Everyone has something that they may have done and recognized later that they are playing with someone’s feelings and may have hurt them to cause mixed feelings towards them. This could have been done by accident or on purpose but you might have felt some sort of guilt as to what you done to the victim and how you made he/she feel that way. This creates some sort of hate towards the bullies as the victim does not like or acknowledge the bullies presence as well as theirs. By forgiving someone who hurt you and moving on, you understand that you faced the bullies and the problem while being brave and strong. Moreover, you essentially understand that by forgiving, the people are aware of what they have done and helped tell them that they can move on as well. Forgiveness leads to happiness as the person will be free from guilt but will not make the same mistake to someone else so that the other victim doesn’t have to go through the same thing.
