#MainMessageForToday
Love yourself enough to forgive because a life full of resentment, anger and hate will do more harm to you. You may still have hurt or resentment, but you have to control yourself so that you do not repay evil for evil. Choose to not act on it. Do not replay the events over and over in your mind.
Over time, you should forget about the hurt.

"I will learn to let go what I cannot change,
I will learn to forgive what I cannot change,
I will learn to love what I cannot change."

This seems to make sense:
"Forgiveness is not forgetting. 'Forgive and forget' seem to go together. However, the process of forgiving involves acknowledging to yourself the wrong that was done to you, reflecting on it, and deciding how you want to think about it. Focusing on forgetting a wrong might lead to denying or suppressing feelings about it, which is not the same as forgiveness. Forgiveness has taken place when you can remember the wrong that was done without feeling resentment or a desire to pursue revenge. Sometimes, after we get to this point, we may forget about some of the wrongs people have done to us. But we don’t have to forget in order to forgive.
