Most people benefit from applying forgiveness as it can reduce the anger of feeling hurt and wounded due to an adverse circumstance or relationship. Gratitude is the readiness to show appreciation and kindness toward others, despite anger or frustration. Showing gratitude and forgiveness can reverse anger, frustration, and increasing pain. Forgiveness helps a person let go of anger, resentment, and hostility toward others. Studies have shown that patients who had higher scores on forgiveness-related variables reported lower levels of pain, anger, and psychological distress (1).
