Forgiveness Is it really that forgiveness hasba bright side !!! When someone hurts you , you're probabely not in a position to notice any benifits that came out if the situation. Let's say your partner cheated on you , after all you were able to admit the relationship wasn't really working out. Their infidelity wasn't the right choice ,of course ,but it opened your eyes to the problem in the relationship . Maybe a close friend from you did something cruel or dropped you without explanation . Despite your pain and anger ,you explored why. Eventually,they explained they were struggling with serious mental health symptoms ,and you helped them find support . Even when you can't identify a clear benifit ,you may simply feel like a better person for embracing compassion and understanding .
