Zohar answers, “Forgiveness is a white
dove. It brings peace to the forgiver as much as the forgiven. It is for the
forgiven as they can now begin to process their guilt (should they so choose),
but it is mostly for the forgiver, for they can process their anger,
disappointment, and grief. Forgiveness is not forgetting, it is not accepting,
it is certainly not condoning. It may not even be reconciliation, as
reconciliation may not be desirable given the circumstances. The grievance
which has been forgiven allows the forgiver to move on with their life. It is
closing one chapter in a relationship and opening another.
“The pain is much for those who do not forgive.
They grow old, and bitter, and cynical, and angry. These eat away at the soul
of the individual and puts them into a hell on earth, a hell in this life. This
opens them to the darkness. The unforgiven deeds of others follow them into their
karma until one day they finally learn to forgive. So, forgive freely and
often. It is liberating for the soul and it spreads the Light.”
