Perhaps we have to confess our bitterness about others. We need to let go of the right to extract revenge on others, to stop keeing a profit and loss account. We need to stop recalling the emotional debts. Forgiveness Forgiveness helps us to let go. We refuse to cling on to our desire to hold something against others.
Some people are bitter because they refuse to let go by forgiving themselves.
Parents are sometimes bitter, refusing to fogive their children for not being the people they wanted them to be, and likewise some children won't forgive their parents for not being the ideal role models that they wanted. We may need to forgive our employers or employees. If we are married, we will almost certainly need to forgive our partners. It s not necessarily the big things that destroy marriages. It s often the little things that remain unforgiven and that grow into enormous things over the years.
