      Learning to forgive

      Living well is the best revenge. 

      —George Herbert

      Ouch, that hurt! We can all think of a situation when we were hurt, betrayed or abandoned by others. This is often very painful, even long after the incident. How can we overcome this pain, and maybe even restore the relationship?

      In this Quadro we will take a closer look at these questions. Forgiveness is a timeless tool that’s useful for letting go of suffered injustices and opening up our hearts once again. Human beings have experienced the power of forgiveness regardless of what period of history they lived in. Nelson Mandela is a living example of the power of forgiveness. For 27 years he was held captive by the South African apartheid regime, but he forgave those who wronged him and led an entire nation to a new beginning. He later became President of this nation. 

      In our lives, things are usually not as dramatic. The injustices that we suffer may be limited to mobbing, accusations, attacks, and losses. But that doesn’t make it less painful. Every single injustice, no matter how large or small, is painful and requires a remedy.

      We need freedom from the reoccurring thoughts about the suffered injustice that we simply can’t get rid of. We need release from the painful feelings connected to it. And we need release from the despair and lack of vision that often follow the suffering of an injustice.

      The process of forgiveness is a useful tool to deal with a suffered injustice. It sets us free from those thoughts that circle around our minds and it brings relief for our hurt feelings. It also releases us from despair. 

      It is a path that offers many opportunities, but entering it is not easy. Even people that desire to forgive often don’t know how to do it. They have no idea what precisely to do in order to forgive someone. This is exactly why I have written this Quadro. It is my goal to help find answers to these questions. 

      I’ll start with an explanation of what forgiveness actually is – and what it is not. 

      In the second part, the focus lies on the value of forgiveness. I’ll describe the many benefits that forgiveness brings. I consider this to be
