What do you think the benefits of forgiveness are? [Spirituality & Religion]

Forgiveness sets you free from being the "victim" to whomever wronged you. It allows you to let go of the hurt and move on.

Well if you really can forgive you at least don't live with a lot of hate or resentment.

I have found forgiving actually is far better for you holding on to the anger hurts more let it go there really is no point in holding on to the anger . I have forgiven people who have done some terrible things to me because I know that I get peace from it when I do and when I say terrible things I really mean terrible .

When you forgive you lighten your heart and soul. Makes for a more peaceful mind .

GREAT comments everyone!

Peace of mind
