 Forgiveness isn't an eraser of the pain and suffering someone caused us. Forgiveness doesn't rub out the wrongs someone did to us. And I think finding peace and joy again after you went through something that caused you suffering and pain is a long uphill battle. And I think forgiveness is the hydration we take whilst we climb that tough hill. Forgiveness doesn't make you okay with what happened. It doesn't let the person off the hook as it were. It's more to do with you. Forgiveness is hydration while you climb the exhausting hill towards and on your journey towards a happier life beyond that pain and suffering.
