To Forgive Or Not To Forgive: Best Ways To Let Go Of The Past.

English poet Alexander Pope wrote in his Essay on Criticism “to err is human, to forgive is divine”.   Few things feel more heavenly then when someone really “gets” how they’ve hurt you. It’s easy to forgive them when they honestly apologize, make amends, and genuinely do things differently because they’ve learned the error of their way(s). Sometimes however, this doesn’t happen. Sometimes, behavioral patterns repeat, promises get made that aren’t kept. And sometimes, the one that did the hurting actually denies doing what they did.   It’s devastating when someone you love deeply, lets you down, betrays you, leaves you, or hurts you in unspeakable ways.
