Forgiveness

What is forgiveness? Even before that, why do we even need to forgive?

If there is a need to forgive, it means there is a conflict between some external circumstance and internal expectation of it. Now, there is a conflict because of a failed expectation (something we set ourselves). Recognizing that situations did not turn out as expected is the first step in helping yourself forgive others.

From here, it gets easier to forgive others/situations.

1) recognize what you expected

2) question if it was a valid expectation

    2a) why did it fail to meet the expectation?

    2b) how can you change it?

3) can you change your expectation?

4) change your expectation

5) prepare to let go of your resentment

6) disconnect from the situation and let go of your dark side

7) you've forgiven!
