“Forgiveness is forgetfulness”
Teal Swan once said that “True forgiveness is forgetfulness”.
I agree.
But at first, I thought that it meant that we still have to keep in touch with someone that hurt us and treat them as if nothing has happened.
Nope.
That’s not what she meant.
I guess.
I learned my lesson.
I realized that when you truly forgive someone, you stop caring.
You don’t care about what they did to you anymore, you don’t even think of them anymore.
This means that you don’t have any negative emotions towards the person or about what they did.
You feel free. You are okay with whatever happened. You sure prefer if it didn’t happen. But you are okay with what is or was.
Forgiveness is to free yourself from pain so it is to forget the pain.
You live as if nothing has happened, as no one has ever done wrong to you, as if no one ever hurt you.
But what you don’t forget are the lessons.
You keep the lessons forever. You keep the strength that the experience gave you. You keep that self-love you gained forever.
You keep it and remind yourself, so the universe doesn’t have to remind you by sending similar experiences.
Real wisdom is when you put your knowledge into action.
Use the lessons, and let go of the pain.
