Why forgive? This topic is special to me because it was after forgiving someone that I had a spiritual awakening. I experienced true empathy and understanding in that moment and I was free. It was a very healing experience I let go of pain that I had been carrying for six years which showed itself is lower back pain by the way, but that pain is gone now. If I had known what I do now about forgiveness and how to approach it, I could have saved myself those six years of pain. I will hopefully save some for you though.
