# Your Liberation Does Not Require Forgiving Everyone You can be free without forgiving them. Your freedom is not contingent on their absolution.
Sometimes the highest spiritual achievement is: "I'm done. I release my attachment to this.
That's completion." The spiritual world has sold you a lie: that you must forgive everyone who has ever harmed you in order to be free. That unforgiveness is a chain and forgiveness is the only key.
That your liberation requires their absolution. It doesn't. ## The Tyranny of Universal Forgiveness The demand that you forgive everyone is another form of spiritual violence.
