			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Irrespective of religion when it comes to forgiving someone it is very hard.</p>
<p><strong>How did you have to cope with forgiving&nbsp; someone?</strong></p>
<p>Letting go is difficult no matter who it is the effect it has on an individual is painful&nbsp; and often you don&#8217;t know where to start.</p>
<p>It can be of any &nbsp;experiences, like for example, your bad childhood, if you had one, or neglect hurts you when a child and it never really heals completely, you are affected throughout your entire life.</p>
<p>Another which happens with many relationships, one of the partners lied about loving you</p>
<p>Your parents lied&nbsp; to you about&nbsp; your dog instead of telling you the truth they lied that the dog had run off but had died, and you worry yourself about it</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your son is a drug addict and he steals from you to buy drugs how do you&nbsp;&nbsp;forgive that?</strong></p>
<p>Your husband cheated on you years ago</p>
<p><strong>Can you forgive someone on anything you still remember?</strong></p>
<p>You were found guilty of a crime you didn&#8217;t commit, and no one justified it</p>
<p> If you were called a slut even though you were a virgin at that time</p>
<p>Keeping secrets</p>
<p>Being betrayed by a &nbsp;best friend</p>
<p><strong>Can you forgive September nine eleven?</strong></p>
<p>A victim of abuse, like if you were raped or someone you knew was murdered</p>
<p>You sometimes have the hardest time forgiving yourself for the little things and can&#8217;t go back to fix them.&nbsp; Though it will make a difference you still find it most difficult to apologise.</p>
<p>Technically you learn not to&nbsp; forgive to your feelings, the hurt feelings makes you a stronger person</p>
<p>If a relative had &nbsp;gained access to your banking account and taken all your funds</p>
<p><strong>Is it hard to forgive your husband and your sister if&nbsp; you caught &nbsp;them red-handed in bed?</strong></p>
<p>Let me know of your opinions and if you had to forgive any one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><strong>Did you know that Forgiveness is one of the most difficult skills in life to come up with?</strong></i></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Many of us here on earth seek forgiveness for what we have done or who wish that they could forgive</strong></p>
<p><strong> others easily as they can. But as my own experience it will not happen automatically. It&rsquo;s is very broad or</strong></p>
<p><strong> many stages to fill up with, like exerting <i>Effort, Understanding </i>and most of it is <i>Time</i>. If you don&rsquo;t exert</strong></p>
<p><strong> effort to recognize and accept/ understand the attitude of others then you cannot forgive since the pain still</strong></p>
<p><strong> remains, if you don&rsquo;t give time then it would be the hardest thing.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If we can easily recognize, accept or understand and give time to ourselves then you </strong></p>
<p><strong>can forgive automatically, &nbsp;since in your heart you don&rsquo;t hold hatred or anger. It will heal automatically.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If we can forgive, it is wonderful feeling that we don&rsquo;t hold any grudges to everyone else.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Forgiveness is wonderful!</strong></p>
<p><i><strong>&nbsp;</strong></i></p>
<p><i><strong>Lets forgive those people who sin against us!</strong></i></p>

		<description><![CDATA[What to consider when it comes to forgiving someone.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I believe that only the ones who you love deserve a second chance, but if they truly love you then they wouldn&#8217;t do anything that they could not be forgiven of.&nbsp; That first chance should last forever if they love you and you love them back. Although this maybe true in some cases, things happen, people screw up. If they love you and you love them and they made a mistake and they are sincerely asking for forgiveness, then they probably should be forgiven. If your the sweet kind that gives everyone a million and one chances, think about how it will affect you in the end. If you give the wrong people too many chances they will take advantage of it and will hurt you in the end. If your the kind that isn&#8217;t really into second chances, and that a persons first chance is also their last, you need to put yourself in their shoes and think how you would feel. If if you do something, of course you want to be forgiven, but do you deserve to be forgiven? That&#8217;s the question that needs to be brought up when it comes to forgiveness. I don&#8217;t think it has anything to do with what you think about it, does that person deserve to be forgiven? Did they mean to do what they did? If they did it purposely, did they mean to make you feel that way? Consider these questions the next time you are in a situation that requires forgiveness. Also think about how it affects everyone in the situation, don&#8217;t think only about yourself.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Forgiving an infidelity is the hardest act of faith in relationships- with the belief that a cheat is forever one. However, where is the brave when two must agree to go on the journey? A bit of forgiving might heal lots, argues Ayub Chege in a pointer of the harsh spiritual and emotional realities facing relationships today.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Love is a very broad spectrum with a million pixels&rsquo; shades and million miles&rsquo; depths, also from very cold to extremely hot. Therefore, anyone who has never been really hurt to the point of throwing up if not throw tantrums has never really loved. To have loved and been loved in return creates a world that if disrupted causes bio-physiological upheavals that cannot be wished away. Those who turn drastic and stalk up or decimate those who have jilted them can be understood to have been too enmeshed to just cleave off from the relationship peacefully. Because, the loss is almost tantamount to losing one&#8217;s very soul.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As the Strauss-Kahn rape saga seeks to outbid Berlusconi&rsquo;s escapades, the heat that Arnie Schwarzenegger and Ryan Giggs wanes, but Rio Ferdinand has just been aroused from his slumber. And with the demise of gossip-flagship NOTW, may be the treat to all the kiss-and-yell will only be left to the tiny magazines that many people do not go for. Therefore, commenting on other people&rsquo;s relationships will not be the enclave that forms many habits, and people might just start concentrating on their own individual relationships.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before that, some highlight of the Cole family would rank well. Why so many people are opposed to Cheryl taking back the &lsquo;love-rat&rsquo; Ashley continues to irk millions in the UK. Does anyone really know what Ashley was giving her so that she could have lived so vibrant and that no will.i.am or derricks can offer? Why, after her divorce did she insist on continuing to use his name- while the obvious would have been to cleave off anything that could have reminded her of the &lsquo;rat&rsquo;? Money and WAGs fame aside, who should judge that the beautiful Cheryl should only have eyes for the handsome and not the &lsquo;ugly choc mug&rsquo; Cole? Can ever the most elite psychologist sew the thread that runs between Cheryl and Cole? Why then judge them?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jesus also taught about the lost. To a shepherd, one sheep out of 100 strong. To a widow, one cent out of may be a few shekels. And to that loving father, the prodigal son as well as the self-righteous son. In all the cases, Jesus taught that what was lost was sort by all means and deeds, and the owner never rested till the lost was found.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The prodigals&#8217; story was a precursor of what many don&#8217;t bother to link. And that is the story of the woman caught having sex with a man who was not her husband. The accusers were many, but Christ didn&#8217;t accuse her. He didn&#8217;t condone her sins, but He showed love. We can all say he was not the injured party and so would easily forgive. But as no man surfaced to beat up the erring woman, we can infer that she was a single woman. Yet, she stood to be stoned to death for adultery.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of us today, the question still stands: S/he who has never sinned, let him/her cast the first stone. We have all been hurt as well as hurt others, for we are all human. And it stands that we shall still hurt others and be hurt too. You and I are the prodigal partner(s) today if not tomorrow, and you and I are the injured today if not tomorrow. Are we going to take up Christ&#8217;s lesson?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When infidelity strikes, it is mostly a problem of both parties refusing to reach to each other. Both are usually to blame. Now, for the one caught prodigal, the misery and agony are often genuine in seeking forgiveness. The prodigal partner has no home to go back to, nor will the injured partner go to any length to welcome the lost back. Of the righteous one, how easy would it be to forgive without stocking up ills to wage war in the future? How easy would it be to remain moral and not go out to get your own back?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Is it impossible to act the Christ way, accepting the prodigal partner with a word- sin no more?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A summary of the theme for &#34;Ordinary People.&#34;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the book Ordinary People, the reader may discover many themes throughout the story. Three of the themes used in the story are Forgiveness, Finding One&rsquo;s Identity, and Illusion vs. Reality. The three main characters being focused on throughout the story are Conrad Jarrett and his parents Beth and Calvin Jarrett. Place yourself in Conrad&rsquo;s shoes. How would you feel if you were in his position throughout the story? Think about these three themes and how they affected Conrad and how they are affecting you right now. See if they will help you in life any.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Forgiveness is one of the themes a reader may discover in Ordinary People. What is forgiveness? Forgiveness is finding the power within yourself and others that allows you to move on and leave the past behind. In the story, Beth wasn&rsquo;t able to forgive anyone over the death of her son Buck (Jordan) and almost the loss of her other son Conrad.&nbsp; Another way that forgiveness was used was when Conrad was finally able to forgive himself for the death of his brother towards the end of the book. Forgiving people can be a hard thing but it is something that we all have to do in life at some point in time whether it is something you want to do or not. It is always the right thing to do.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another theme is Finding One&rsquo;s Identity in the book Ordinary People. Finding Identity is simply finding out who you really are as a person deep down when no one is watching. &nbsp;Readers can see that throughout the story that Conrad was slowly working on finding out whom he really was. Things started to get a lot easier for Conrad when he finally figured out who he really was as a person. Finding out who you are as a person can help you greatly in life and help you understand more about yourself that you never really knew up until now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The last theme in the book Ordinary People is Illusion vs. Reality. Illusion vs. Reality is how you want to see things when you want to see things compared to how things really are at that moment. Readers can see Illusion vs. Reality in Beth&rsquo;s character. Conrad showed Illusion vs. Reality when his mind was set on Karen when he met her in the coffee shop and when he found out that she had committed suicide. Have you ever had a moment like this where you wanted to believe something in an illusion to get rid of the harshness of reality? That is what happened in the story. Karen believed in an illusion when she said that she did not need help and that she was great when really, she was afraid of reality and how she really did need help and ended up committing suicide because of it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How do you feel in Conrad&rsquo;s place? Sad? Mad? Happy? That is up to you to decide. These themes are just three of the many themes that are based in the book Ordinary People. Remember in life that you always need to forgive people, always know the difference in reality vs. illusions, and work on finding out who you really are as a person. Accomplishing these three things will get you far in life and will defiantly help you in the long run.</p>

<p></a></p>
<h3>&#8220;FORGIVENESS&#8221;</h3>
<h3>Forgiving is putting the past in the past,</h3>
<p>and helps the pain go away fast.</p>
<p>Forgiveness is living in the here and now,</p>
<p>turn to the Lord, he&#8217;ll show you how.</p>
<p>Forgiveness is having peace of mind,</p>
<p>that inner peace that is so hard to find.</p>
<p>Forgiveness is having self-confidence no doubt,</p>
<p>hanging on to resentments you could do without.</p>
<p>Forgiveness is no longer being the victim so sad,</p>
<p>because now you&#8217;ve overcome being angry and mad.</p>
<p>Forgiveness is moving on to the future so bright,</p>
<p>you&#8217;re no longer stuck in the past and uptight.</p>
<p>Forgiveness is letting to of the past and the pain,</p>
<p>no longer to go through it again for that would be insane.</p>
<p>ForgivenessP is losing that emotional baggage for good,</p>
<p>that rancid garbage no longer in&nbsp;your neighborhood</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In today's hurried time, only few people can truly enjoy the small things. The path to happiness to so many times unnecessarily complicated. Sometimes actually just change the viewing angle! Let's try to stop once for a moment and reflect on what makes us happy in life. They are usually small things that can comfortably caress the human soul and make us happy. I will tell you the most beautiful!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let us be thankful <br />We strive to be successful in private and at work. Often times we are under great pressure, and it seems to us that it could not and nothing we can not. Stop! We think wrong! Even for small successes, we should be grateful. Learn, therefore, enjoy the moments that will bring a smile to your face. Think about every night of three things, what you came in that day. It can be a sign of good schools, which bring your child, or simply that you came into work on time. You will see, the more you will enjoy the small things, the more you will feel that life is beautiful! </p>
<p>Give to joy <br />We know, can not buy happiness, but on the other hand, is in our hands that we made someone else happy. The life is not enough to take it, but also give. A pleasure it is to donate any art! Sincere compliments directed at your colleagues more pleasant day for themselves and you. Whether it&#8217;s apple, small cHOcOLATe or compliment, which has given to those in your neighborhood, believe that the joy of &#8220;giving&#8221; you a thousand times worth it. </p>
<p>Pick up priority <br />Everyone excels at something. It is natural that things that do better, we will automatically cause a greater joy. Someone draws a beautiful, another composed music, others perfectly cooked. Take some time to think, what you excel. Cherish yourself for what you can do. Place &#8220;head full of sadness&#8221; of their weaknesses and strengths pick up on the road to happiness just bet on them. Similarly, this applies also to your friends. Do not look for faults in others, quite the contrary. Discover the uniqueness that lies within each of us! </p>
<p>Remember <br />Did you known a surprise day of your birth and sent a message or call to congratulate you on? How did you feel? I think we will not be far from the truth to answer that question made you happy. Try as you concentrate on your next holidays and remember not only the terms which have notebooks crammed with work, but also private matters. Think of friends or acquaintances and enjoy them by giving them memorable. And also spom&iacute;najte! On all nice for times when you feel comfortable. Memories act as a balm for the soul! </p>
<p>Forgiving <br />From time to time we get people from the wound, from which at least wait. Whether you are delivering a &#8220;slap&#8221; friends or colleagues, it is essential that we learn to forgive. Throw everything overboard, the burden on our soul. And even if it is not easy. Pain that we suffer and we can not get rid of it, matter of fact prevents us to be happy. Debt, however, relieves my mind. And remember! Only those who can forgive the day, you can lie down in bed in the evening as the winner and will be a further step closer to happiness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is an offender who does not fit into any of the above  categories.This is the one person who can cause you the most harm, be  the most oblivious to your best interests, and the hardest for you to forgive:you.</p>
<p> By virtue of being human, you carry within you the potential to do  self-destructive and foolish things. You can hurt your loved ones and  yourself. You may be hurting right now because of something that you did  in the past. Forgiving yourself is in many ways more difficult than forgiving others. Because you know your heart, you cannot get away with partial or false forgiveness.</p>
<p> The Dangers of Self-loathing When you are unwilling to forgive yourself,  you turn the force of your bitterness and anger inward. 2,000 years  ago, a wise man wrote that a house divided against itself cannot stand.  So too, you cannot function properly if you resent yourself. Your  relationships, your work, your physical health and your emotional well  being are all likely to suffer significantly if you are in a state of  unresolved conflict with yourself.</p>
<p> You may be able to get by for a time, you may be able to fool those  around you, but in the end you cannot be untrue to yourself. Being bitter against your own soul for the mistakes of your past will lead to only one thing: self-loathing.</p>
<p> If you are harboring an unforgiving pain within, it is nearly impossible  to forgive others. Pain piles upon pain, and your heart becomes  hardened. In a tragically short amount of time, your self-loathing will  turn into an angry, seething loathing of everything and everyone around  you. When you reach that stage, you become very hard to love. The  loathing that you broadcast will be returned to you &mdash; until you forgive  yourself and begin restoring a healthy sense of self-worth.</p>
<p> <strong>The Joys of Self-forgiveness</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Self-forgiveness brings about a corrected self-image. Free  from blame, we can see our true potential and feel good about ourselves  again. When you stop flagellating yourself for the sins of your past, your future looks much brighter.Forgiving yourself is not easy. </li>
<li>There  can be no tearful confession, no heart to heart talk because all is  already known and there is but one heart &mdash; a heart broken by a war that  can have no winner.</li>
<li> Forgiving yourself requires a conscious  effort to let go of the past and take an active step toward a happier  and healthier future.There can be no falsity, no deceit.</li>
<li> If  you are going to forgive yourself, you&rsquo;ve got to go all the way. Let  the mistakes of your past stay in the past. Push them away as if they  never happened. </li>
</ul>
<p>When you can honestly do that, only  then can you earnestly forgive others, only then can you begin to move  away from bitterness and toward your true goal:happiness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we move past the temptation of playing the victim, we can begin  the process of forgiving the person who caused the offense. There are  many different types of situations that will cause hurt and require  forgiveness. The types of offenders needing forgiveness generally fall  into three distinct categories: contrite, unrepentant, and unavailable.  Reaching the point of forgiving each comes with its own special  benefits.</p>
<p> <strong>Contrite Offenders</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Sometimes good people do bad things. Sometimes bad people  turn good. In either case, there are occasions in which a person does  something to hurt you and afterward feels genuinely sorry for his  actions. When the offender is contrite, forgiveness is easier to come  by. </li>
<li>A contrite offender will many times actually ask for  forgiveness, or at least leave an open door. In these cases, you benefit  by bringing closure to the incident and letting go of all ill will  toward the person who hurt you.</li>
<li>The offender benefits when  you forgive him as well. He knows that he did the wrong thing and your  forgiveness gives him permission to release his own guilt and focus on  the future, rather than his past indiscretion.</li>
<li> A contrite  offender recognizes his own need to be forgiven and gains immediate  rewards when he overtly receives that forgiveness.</li>
</ul>
<p> <strong>Unrepentant Offenders</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Other  times, the person who hurt you did so intentionally, or simply doesn&rsquo;t  care that she caused you harms. She may not feel that she did anything  wrong and will have no part in asking for your forgiveness. Trying to  forgive that person is more difficult, because unless handled properly  doing so face to face may cause more harm than good. </li>
<li>&nbsp;Unrepentant offenders may not know that they&#8217;ve done you  wrong, but you need to forgive them just as much as the more contrite  variety of offender. You need it, because the benefits to yourself when  releasing that pent-up anger and resentment are just as great,  regardless of the disposition of the person who hurt you. Forgiving  those who don&#8217;t want to be forgiven is freeing to your own soul and  relieves you of the burden of resentment.</li>
<li>The unrepentant  offender benefits as well. If you can forgive her face to face, she will  see in you an attitude of forgiveness that she may lack. Seeing that  kind of light in another person can only buoy your own spirit. Even if  the offender or situation is such that you are unable to offer a verbal  apology, forgiving her in your heart will lead to a different attitude  toward her as a person.</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re holding on to resentment  and bitterness, it will certainly color your interactions with that  person, causing disharmony. When you have forgiven her in your heart,  whether you announce so to her or not, it will be clearly visible in  your relationship and will lead to decreased tension and increased  happiness for you both.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Unavailable Offenders<br /></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The  third category of offender is those who just cannot be reached to offer  your forgiveness. It may be someone you are unlikely to ever encounter  again, like the angry woman that cursed you out at Wal-Mart. It may be  someone you&#8217;ve never seen at all, like the anonymous driver who dinged  your car in the parking lot. Or it may be someone who was important to  you, but is now deceased or has moved away and cannot be tracked down.</li>
<li>In  these cases, the offender will never know if you maintain a grudge or  if you forgive him completely. This person will never receive any direct  benefit from your forgiveness. Truly, he may never realize his own  wrong doing. But that does not relieve you of the need to forgive,  because as we&#8217;ve seen, the opposite of forgiving is holding on to  bitterness and resentment, which will harm you, regardless of the status  of the offending party.</li>
<li>You will benefit from forgiving him  even if he never knows and you never see him again. Your friends and  family will benefit when you release your negative emotions and let go  of the incident. Forgiving those who hurt you is ALWAYS good for you.</li>
