When someone has been harmed, the process of forgiving involves letting go of anger and showing compassion to the offender. Giving formal pardon, forgetting the offense, or mending a friendship are not all examples of what forgiveness entails. You can forgive someone even if you don't think their acts were right or reasonable.
Exactly what does it mean to accept forgiveness?
Although the act of forgiving another person may be understood in a variety of ways, it always involves a deliberate decision to set aside feelings of bitterness, resentment, fury, and rage.
You may never be able to forget the person or object that caused you pain or embarrassment, but you may lessen your grasp on their actions by seeking reconciliation and forgiving them. It might help you break free from the wrongdoer's hold. In certain situations, extending forgiveness to an offender may lead to a greater capacity for understanding, compassion, and empathy.

But what if I'm the one who needs mercy and forgiveness?
The first stage is to take stock of your wrongdoings and acknowledge how they have harmed and influenced others. Relax and stop being so harsh on yourself.
