Nobody is happy if they do not have the ability to forgive themselves, I know of many people who are able to easily forgive others, no matter sometimes the damage caused, but it is difficult for them to forgive themselves, if we want tranquility or inner peace the first thing we have to do is to forgive ourselves.
To feel guilt is part of the human being, it is a feeling that helps us to understand between good and bad, when we believe that we do something wrong we feel a sense of guilt with that person, that is a good sign that we have not lost human sensitivity, that which helps us to feel empathy for others, and want to do good.
If we can feel guilt for something that hurts someone, we have to have the same feeling when we do not understand ourselves, it is negative to feel guilt for an external damage and not for an internal one, everything exists in balance and our interior needs it all the time.
Sometimes we reproach ourselves strongly when we make a mistake, and we have to understand that it is part of the growth of people, we cannot punish ourselves for that, what we have to do is to strengthen our weakness together with our inner self.
Forgiving ourselves allows us to put ourselves in tune with our inner and outer selves, and continue on the path of inner peace, or what is the same, happiness.
As you said, it's really a good sign to realize our wrong deeds/mistakes, which marks us as a human being. But you know what, nowadays very few people can have this noble virtue, not everyone can realize the wrongs they have done, everyone just keeps doing it intentionally or takes them as fun, have seen many such incidents.
Yeah, good peoples are still out there that's why things aren't fully chaotic, we are still social beings. When we get stuck into guilt then it is really a hard time to pass, we don't get peace until we can get rid of that, how? some try to fix the damage, mostly they are irreparable and then we try to ask for forgiveness from the sufferer, if that door is shut too then the real fighting begins, with ourselves and that's what you are referring to, forgiving ourselves, yeah as we tried to fix in all ways now we should move on forgiving ourselves. This is really a hard step, faced with this kinda situation so I was relating myself while reading this.
Wonderful reflection, all your words are accurate and according to the topic, thank you for your time, I enjoyed reading every word you have expressed. Happy day.
Ah, thank you for your appreciation.
For one's own peace, one should forgive others. Our lives flow through so many mistakes. There are many who repent after realizing their mistakes, and try to correct them.
Or aiming to avoid repeating that mistake. Exceptions are some people who never want to admit their mistakes. Maybe they don't want to admit it, thinking that admitting they're wrong will make them feel inferior to others.
But admitting your mistakes is also great. It is painful for oneself to harbor anger and resentment towards someone. So I think if someone realizes their mistake then they should be forgiven. Forgiveness brings inner peace. So we all should possess this quality within ourselves like your writing. One should forgive people for one's own peace and one should be careful that others do not harm oneself.
