Forgiveness a panacea for depression

In carrying out our day to day activities in life as humans, we are bound to err. These mistakes often leads to hurting each other emotionally, psychological or perhaps physically which has creates grief among so many in our society today.

The peace in our society is been threatened, the love in most families of the world is waxing cold, leaving them in a broken state.
Strife, hatred and bitterness are of the increase because of Unforgiviness.

It's important to note, that in living a life of love, peace of mind, devoid of so much hatred, Forgiveness is salient in achieving such.

The word forgiveness is an act of relieving of resentment towards someone or something. When you forgive, you stop being angry at someone who has offended you and more also you feel better and relax around such person.




Unforgiviness can create more pain and depression than intended. it causes heartbreaks and can lead to serious heart issues, death and even war.

Interestingly some of these grieve are past on within a family from one generation to another, and between races.

 Most black Americans (Negro) are still holding resentment against the white over the slavery of their fore fathers which happened some centuries ago.

Some people assumed forgiveness to be for the weakling and fearful but we must correct such a wrong impression because even the bravest of heart do forgive to forestall war and to maintain peace.

Even as sinners, Jesus Christ forgave us and most importantly taught Us on how to forgive our neighbors, in the scriptures.(KJV) Matthew 18:21-22 " Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven".




This is about four hundred and ninety(490) times a day, which makes me wonder and ask how possible can one offend you in such number, in a day? it's obviously not possible. This is to show that, as human we should never hold back our forgiveness, and more also to express boundless love towards each other.

 Although, for some people, it is actually difficult to forget an entire experience after forgiveness.

But when you genuinely forgive, it relieves you of the pain of wanting to seek vengeance, it urbuden your mind of grudges, it makes your heart to be as light as ever, it creates new energy around you and most importantly it gives you the key to progressive positive thinking.

Forgiveness gives room for new opportunities and a new horizon for the flow of fresh ideas and for some, it brings the long awaiting answers to their prayers.

We have a more peaceful society if we practice genuine forgiveness.
