FORGIVENESS! 
If a person hurt us there are two ways to go about it; either ignore it and move on or to take revenge and be even. It's not always easy to take the high road, to just forgive and let go when someone's done you wrong. It maybe intentional or unintentional but it already did some damage. I know that it takes a lot of courage to forgive someone and forgiving is one step forward into breathing more easier! But what good does hurting another person do to you? It doesn't make you any better. But standing by and ignoring your hurt feelings isn't good either. So here we are stick in a pickle!
But how do we forgive the people that hurt us? Would you choose to take the high road? How long does it take to forgive someone that hurt us? Do we choose who we forgive? Can you still go back to the way it was? Are we capable of giving them a second chance?
Come and join us on the 7th of August at 7:30 pm AEST to discuss ways we can forgive and forget and share your thoughts about forgiveness! If you have any questions, feel free to comment!

In what situations might forgiveness be needed?When someone hurts you and you can't move on without feeling upset and angry about it all the time.
Dealing with Family is often a big situation that needs forgiveness.

I think forgiveness is needed when you yourself want to move on. You have to give it yourself, no one can demand it really, and forgiving another can be really empowering in that way because you are the powerful one.

I agree with @StarLord. Forgiveness allows you to move on in life and find peace within yourself. It empowers yourself and also shows your ability to rise above the things that hurt you and makes you a stronger person.

What are some of the benefits of forgiveness? (consider the benefits that are available for both yourself and the other person/people)For you: you don't waste energy being angry, you can have healthier relationships, you're more at peace
For them: they get a second chance, aren't feeling constantly guilty (if they were before) and have another go and the friendship/relationship

3. What are some of the benefits of forgiveness?I suppose you can begin to feel at peace and more in control of the issue. But you and the other party can move on and try to improve your relationship as well.
People make mistakes and we can't always hold our anger against them or it eats us up...

I think forgiveness is needed when somebody has done something to you that has made you feel upset, angry or irritated, but should be viewed with a stricter criteria if that person has made you feel threatened, unsafe or scared.originally posted on 07-08-2017 7:39 PM
To me, forgiveness means letting go of the feelings concerning what somebody has done to you that negatively affect you or your relationship with them. It doesn't mean that you have to forget what happened or that you have to act like everything is 100% fine - just letting go of the negativity is what I think is important
