Om Swami
What does forgiveness really mean when someone has betrayed me?
Forgiveness is cutting the chain, not claiming more love
Forgiveness does not mean saying you accept the person or love them more than before. It means you refuse to let the hurt shackle you and decide it will not be the last word of your life story.
I'm not going to let this chain shackle me. I'm going to cut this chain of wounding and re-wounding, of pain and revenge, of trauma and grief.
