Each of us knows firsthand how difficult it is, and sometimes even impossible to respond with good to the evil inflicted. The natural reaction of a person becomes, if you do not inflict a return evil, then at least protect yourself and end all relations with the one who hurt him. The Orthodox religion teaches us to forgive, but often anger, fear, pain and even hatred prevent us from doing this.
Instructions
Step 1
Regardless of whether you are religious or not, consider that you need forgiveness in the first place. Why do you need to carry this negativity and pain in your soul? The person who has wronged you does not need your forgiveness - he is happy to see how, being angry with him, you destroy yourself. These conditions are known to have a negative effect not only on peace of mind, but also on health. Consider whether you need to destroy yourself and forgive the evil.
Step 2
After forgiving the person who did the wrong, exclude him from your life if you can, or just try to stay away from him. The best answer for him will be your success in life. Such a metamorphosis, when the evil inflicted turns into good, will become a step for you to overcome yourself, and this is always great. Treat your enemies as those who helped you become stronger. By this you really show your strength and your enemies will be destroyed, as individuals, under the yoke of your own evil.
Step 3
Analyze what you have gained for personal growth and excellence as a result of overcoming evil. Surely, there are at least 10 items that you can specify in this list. You can start with the fact that now there is one less scoundrel among your entourage. But those who behaved decently towards you showed you that you have real friends. For sure, you already have two pluses.
Step 4
Having forgiven once, do it unconditionally, without any conditions. It is difficult, but even more difficult to live with a soul burnt out by hatred. Continue to live a full life and remember that there are a lot of good things in life, you just need to be able to see and appreciate it.
Step 5
But to forgive evil does not at all mean to accept and justify it. Of course, it is necessary to punish evil, but it should not be the goal of your life. Just believe in supreme retribution and justice and shift the execution of punishment onto them.
