Between forgiveness and sin/ Entre el perdón y el pecado // LOH Contest 250

We always read in personal development books that forgiveness isn't for the other person, it's for the thorn in our side. And sometimes we dress it up to have a little fun and believe we can put it aside.
If forgiveness is especially beneficial for those who are able to let go of past grudges, the invitation to reflect upon is: Do we always have to forgive? Why forgive someone who doesn't deserve forgiveness? Should we always forgive? Share your thoughts.
Is it necessary to forgive or should we continue carrying that burden, which becomes heavy? Most of the time, the other person doesn't deserve forgiveness, especially when we see them hurting someone again. I know this from my own experience, and it's hard to forgive, even harder to forget. Yet, sometimes, out of love, we're willing to continue as if nothing had happened.
I felt the need to apply an eye for an eye, and although it didn't blind me, it didn't bring me the peace I was looking for. So, between forgiveness and the sin, there wasn't much difference. The burden of forgiveness was still there.
The only thing that brought me a little more peace was forgiving myself and realizing that what happened to me could happen to anyone; whether they were thinner, fatter, smarter, prettier, more polished, or a better cook. Nothing made a difference, and even more so when I saw that the person I needed to forgive hurt someone else again in the same way. That's when you come to close a cycle and forgive yourself, because it simply wasn't your fault.
ESPAÑOL

Siempre leemos en los libros de crecimiento personal que el perdón no es para la otra parte, es para la espinita que nosotros tenemos adentro. Y a veces nos disfrazamos para divertirnos un poco y creer que la podemos poner a un lado.
Si el perdón es especialmente beneficioso para aquellos que son capaces de soltar los rencores pasados, la invitación a reflexionar es: Siempre tenemos que perdonar? Por qué perdonar a alguien que no merece perdón? Siempre debemos perdonar? Comparte tus pensamientos.
Es necesario perdonar o debemos seguir llevando esa carga que se vuelve pesada. La mayoría de las veces la otra persona no merece el perdón y más cuando vemos que vuelve a dañar a otra persona. Lo sé por experiencia propia y vaya que cuesta perdonar, más olvidar y sin embargo a veces por amor estamos dispuestos a continuar como si no hubiese pasado nada.
Yo tuve la necesidad de aplicar el ojo por por ojo y aunque no me dejo ciega tampoco me trajo la tranquilidad que buscaba. Así que entre el perdón y el pecado no hubo una gran diferencia. La carga del perdón seguía allí.
Lo único que me trajo un poco más de tranquilidad fue el perdonarme a mi misma y darme cuanta que lo que me sucedió le podía suceder a cualquier dama; así fuera flaca, gorda, más inteligente, más bonita, se arreglara más, cocinara mejor. No había nada que hiciera la diferencia y más cuando vi que la persona que debía perdonar volvió a lastimar a otra persona de la misma manera. Es cuando uno llega a cerrar un ciclo y perdonarse así misma, porque simplemente no fue nuestra culpa.

Yes, the stages of forgiveness can be very harsh. Many people do not move past anger, or sadness. While it is unfortunate to hear that you suffered in some way, I am glad you have managed to find your own peace in it.
When it happens to someone else, it is even harder to accept. I hope the cycle is able to cease... Thank you for sharing this knowledge ❤️
Thank you so much for your good wishes. I certainly lived the experience and learned that not forgiving is a burden. A Wednesday hug.
Que bacano miniatura, súper
No sé si perdonar para mí mejor es olvidar. Creo. Y no tengo a nadie a quien perdonar. Naaaa

Estimadísima @sacra97 es necesario perdonar solo hasta donde la cordura nos aconseja.
Hay situaciones y personas imperdonables en esta vida. Y solamente con la indiferencia uno logra salir adelante y crecer.
Hago votos por su salud, su felicidad y su crecimiento personal ✍️🌻
Muchísimas gracias, eso paso hace mucho pero mucho tiempo y de eso aprendimos a no cargar ese gran peso. Agradecida por ese apoyo bonito. Un abrazo de miércoles.

I agree with you, forgiving yourself is when you close a cycle, because it wasn't your fault and even more so when the other person hurts someone else again, as well as stopping carrying that burden of resentment or revenge, thanks for sharing your experiences, friend,

Thank you so much for the opportunity to share experiences. We often carry that forgiveness without giving it, out of pride, but it weighs more heavily on us. A Wednesday hug.

If I had found out, I'd have loaded that unfinished apology, and on top of that. Thanks so much for the support. Hugs
You are most welcome!🤗🌻💕
Yea, of course is good to forgive one another no matter the offence.though I know it's not always easy to do forgive due to what you have passed through,but when you forgive such a person it takes away lots of burdens and anger off your chest, opens great doors of blessings to your life.because unforgivness is a sin that can lead someone to hell fire.thank you ! Lady.
Muchísimas gracias. Thanks you.
It's so true that the real peace often comes from forgiving ourselves and realizing we weren't at fault. Thank you for sharing... it's a great reminder for everyone 💕
Thank you so much. It's part of my experience. I was carrying that forgiveness without fully giving it. Hugs.
Muchísimas gracias, es parte de mi experiencia, cargaba ese perdón sin terminar de darlo. Un abrazo
Thank you for sharing, I know it's difficult but it's best we forgive ourselves
I agree, nothing weighs more than carrying that unspoken forgiveness. Hugs
Estoy de acuerdo nada pesa más que cargar con ese perdón sin dar.
Your words carry both strength and honesty. It’s so real to say that forgiving someone who continues to hurt others doesn’t always bring peace and that an eye for an eye leaves the weight unchanged. The moment that resonated most is your choice to forgive yourself, recognizing you didn’t cause what happened, even when the world seems unfair. That step, letting go of blame and closing the cycle on your own terms, is a quiet, profound victory. Thank you for showing how forgiveness can be both brave and freeing not because others deserve it, but because you do.

Without a doubt, only when I forgave myself could I lift that weight off my shoulders. A hug of gratitude for that complimentary comment.
You are truly welcome 🤗
