Distancing yourself from some painful event is probably the ignition for the process of forgiveness.

What you have suffered after you have healed will make perfect sense. You will be able to smile at how you overcome the tears of pain.

Forgiveness does not change the past, that’s for sure, but it does change the future.

The minute we put aside our self-righteousness and move away from being the aggrieved, then we are on a healing process.
