Why it is important to forgive.?

“Always forgive your enemies nothing annoys them so much”by Oscar Wilde. The quote by Oscar Wilde means why should you allow your enemies to spoil your own peace of mind and inner joy?. By hating others, you do not change anything, but, you do make your own life miserable. I understand sometimes it is hard to forgive or ask for forgiveness.Some people think that it is much easier to forgive than to ask for forgiveness because if you ask for forgiveness you also have to admit you are wrong and people don't like to do that. But when someone does something to seriously offend you it is harder to give forgiveness, because you think that the person is wrong and he/she don't deserve your forgiveness.
All though i thing Forgiveness doesn't mean that you deny the other person's responsibility for hurting you, and it doesn't justify what they had done with you. Sometimes you can forgive the person without any explanation why they act like that with you. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life.I think it's really important that you tell the person that he or she offended you or treated you unfairly and it does not matter if he or she will never accept your forgiveness, what does matter is that you admit that you are wrong, and that you treated him/her unfairly.
Forgiveness is really for your benefit, not necessarily for the benefit of others. When we believe that someone has treated us unfairly, we have placed a judgment against that person, and we try not to talk with them or be Friends with them. And finally Forgiveness allows us to see the truth about ourselves, and to overlook the childish impression in which we appeared to be different, separate, from the Truth.
