Forgiveness Is Not What You Think It Is - And It Takes Longer Than Anyone Tells You

Forgiveness has been weaponized.

Forgiveness has been weaponized. It has been turned into a spiritual mandate - a box you must check on the way to enlightenment, a requirement for healing, a proof of your evolution.

Forgive and you shall be healed. Let go and let God. Release the resentment and free yourself.

The implication is always the same: if you have not forgiven, there is something wrong with your spiritual practice. If you are still angry, you are stuck.

If you are still hurt, you have not done the work. That is a lie.
