My burdens are lighter, because I hold no anger or grudges towards anyone. It's true, that when we forgive, we let go of our anger. Anger like hatred is too heavy a burden for me that I cannot accept it. Anger continues to fester inside of our minds and souls to the point it becomes a bad poison to our minds and souls. Get rid of it, fast! It's not worth it, be happy, light and free.

Forgiveness Helps the Forgiver
Forgiveness often helps the forgiver as much, if not more, than the forgivee. You can't do much about what people have done to you, but you can do EVERYTHING about how you react to it.

Forgive and You’ll Be Forgiven
I totally believe in forgiveness and I believe that if you forgive you will be forgiven. I have had a lot of bad things happen in my life and I forgive the people that did what they did to me-if you don’t you will live your life eaten up with hate and die a bitter and unhappy person.
