Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
______71_______ Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. ______72_______ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. ______73_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
_____74_______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. _____75______ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
A. Why should you forgive?
B. How should you start to forgive?
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

| We've all been hurt by another person at one time or another. This pain causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract (使分心) us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up new things. We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy. Forgiveness does not mean you erase（忘却；抹去）the past, or forget what has happened. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place. It's not easy, but you can learn to do it. Think about the advantages and disadvantages. Think of all the problems this pain causes you, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—how it will make you happier, free you from the past and the pain, and improve your relationships and life in general. Try to put yourself in that person's situation. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren't saying what he did is right, but are trying to understand instead. Understand your responsibility. Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened. This isn't to say you're taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims (受害者) but participants in life. Allow peace to enter your life. As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing. Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up. Title: How to let go and forgive
