No one knows what or where life will takes us. Definitely we will meet people with different stories behind them. Some of them will gives us happiness and joy but there are some that will certainly break our hearts.
Often when somebody hurts our feelings deeply, we tend not to talk to that person who caused us deep anger and breaks our trust. Others may develop grudges and resentments to the person who hurts them.
But is it good not to forgive someone who caused you so much pain?
or is it important to give our forgiveness?
In this world full of struggles and dramas in life, forgiving is often hard to be given to those individuals who made mistakes. Living yourself with hatred or anger won't make you happy in life. But forgiveness is a hard decision and commitment.
Why not give them another chance and forgive them?

You may not bring back the past yet your better future awaits you when you forgive. By forgiveness does not mean that their mistakes are being forgotten but it is a choice to show mercy and not to hold on to hatred and anger for it might eat you alive forever .
As what Lewis B. Smedes from Goalcast said,
"To forgive is to set the prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you."
Everyone we meet indeed have certain reasons and purposes to our lives. We should always remember that we must never regret a day in our life. When those people makes our days happy, be grateful to them. But if not instead, they're making our days gloomy and hurts us or breaks our trust, always remember that bad days will give us experiences and lessons in life.
Forgiveness is a new chance for another beginning and everyday is another chance to change your life.
Forgiving unburdens ones heart of unnecessary emotional baggage. It does one a whole lot of good. However one may still at some point in time remember the wrong done as forgiveness may not always go with forgetting.
