Teen shares views on forgiveness

From the beginning of time people have tried to forgive and yet sometimes people do not understand the meaning of forgiveness.

What is forgiveness, you ask? Well, it’s simple, really: just trust in your fellow people.

If you have no forgiving, people tend to forget that sometimes people need to just trust, otherwise all is lost.

I just think that everyone needs to have some trust so that you can live your life without lies and deceit. It is important to live a happy life for life is short and living it with fulfillment is the perfect way for life to turn out the way you want.

Sometimes you even need to have trust in your own self to forgive another person. And it is true that no matter how much you try to forgive somebody else it will never work until you forgive yourself. At least that is my opinion.

I do know that some people find it hard to believe in themselves and just trust that everything will be OK at one point, but how can one not know that someone is behind them feeding lies and a long story of stuff that no one knows is true? I can only trust that if no one else believes that what I say is true I have myself to depend on and that is not an opinion: It is fact.

Trust is something that comes from the heart, not gossip heard from other people or in a magazine or even on the news. It is simply the knowing that what you’re saying is true.

Remember, always believe in yourself.
