5 Reasons to Forgive someone who has Hurt you to the Core
A living being’s heart — be it a human or an animal is designed by nature in such a way, that it contains a wide variety of emotions. Among all of those emotions and feelings, the strongest is “love” and “care” for another being.
This leads to a connection, a bond between two hearts, which sometimes undergoes the process of “hurting” and “getting hurt”. The one who is on the receiving end i.e. getting hurt feels insurmountable pain and emotional agony. A majority of people after getting hurt to the core, think of avenging.
The most popular belief is to hurt someone in the same way as they hurt you. But how to obtain a path of forgiveness and really forgive someone, for doing the unthinkable. Well, this article focuses on the few reasons — Why you should forgive someone who has hurt you to the core.
