In life, there will always be a bad person who will hurt you or the people you love. But to be different is to not behave the same way. Forgiveness is vital but try not to forget because when you do, that person may attack again. Here are the reasons why we should forgive those who wrong us.Our Father in heaven forgives us all the time. Every day we sin and repent, God forgives us and so He expects us to do the same on earth.  It’s important to let go of what happened and move on. When a friend wrongs you, it’s important to forgive them because the time will come when you need to be forgiven too. Treat others the way you want to be treated and when someone makes a mistake; forgive them because we all make them. Forgiving will help you live happier and healthier. If you never let go of the past or the people who did you wrong, you’ll end up just as bitter as they are. You can make a positive change in society through forgiveness. By forgiving others, we encourage friends and family to forgive those who wronged them as well. It’s very good to live in a society when you lead by example. Forgiveness will give your inner self the ability to be happy. This is not only good for you morally, but also great for your health as constant anger and hatred will only raise your stress levels.
