Forgiveness Defined
A. What Is Forgiveness?
One person’s heartfelt loving response to another person or people who have hurt the forgiver personally.
Forgiveness is bearing the consequences of another’s wrongdoing and letting the wrongdoer go free.
Forgiveness is giving up all claim upon the one who has hurt you, including letting go of al the emotional consequences of the hurt. (Lewis Smedes)
True forgiveness is the beautiful fragrance which the flower sheds on the heel of the one who crushes it.

Benefits of Forgiveness
Research indicates that common offenses are rejection, betrayal of trust, lies and insults.
When forgiveness takes place, blood pressure goes down dramatically.
When a grudge is held the individual is more negative and sad during an unforgiving time reports Charlotte Witvliet. She indicates that when there is forgiveness one has compassion to a person who does not deserve it.
According to Witvliet (2001) most forgiveness-related health studies have focused primarily on the adverse cardiovascular effects (heart problems) of one type of unforgiving response: HOSTILITY. Forgiveness and hostility generally have an inverse relationship: as one goes up, the other comes down.
When forgiveness increases, hostility decreases.
When forgiveness decreases, hostility increases.

Creed 1- Forgiveness = Compassion and staying alive to further forgive.
Deed 2- Victimisation = Overrun, maimed-4-life or killed for being naiev, stubborn-2-listen and believing kindness is NEVER misinterpreted as weakness by villain.
To exercise creed 1 genuinely, means avoiding deed 2 becomes imperative!
