Have you ever found it difficult to forgive someone? We expect people to treat us the way we want to be treated. But someone can only give you what they have, what they know, and what they have understood.

When you forgive someone, it’s not about them, it’s about your peace of mind and well-being. Not all people are fortunate enough to live, gain experience, receive an education, and have a good influence on their lives.

Also, not all people were born into wealthy families or lived in a positive environment. The way they treat you, how they act, and what they say are usually based on everything they know and have experienced in their lives.

That can change, stagnate, or grow. It depends on what they learn, what they experience, and those who influence them. If you are still holding on to pain, resentment, and feeling hurt, take time to heal yourself.

Forgiveness is one of the greatest give you can give yourself. — Maya Angelou
