I work through the pain by reframing the situation and allowing others to be who they are, even if they are not allowing me to be who I am.

I hear you, Aroha. It has taken me a long time to get to the place of being able to forgive others. I read spiritual books on forgiveness and listened to the Dalai Lama, which were helpful. Once I learned to forgive others, it was I who benefitted. Keep working at it!

Good morning. Thank you for this. Forgiveness is a hard one for me. I try to be forgiving, but… there is one person that did such terrible things…
