When I searched the Internet using the terms
forgiveness, reconciliation, and revenge, I used the search engine of Google.
Websites that I found for forgiveness was a definition from Wikipedia, and how
the bible applies and defines forgiveness. Also, there was a site on Psychology
Today about forgiveness that apples the psychodynamic approach theory. For the
term reconciliation, I received multiple sites giving the definition, but
nothing more. And for revenge, all the sites led me to the relatively new
television series called revenge. Out of all three terms, forgiveness produced
the most results. I feel that this is because it is common knowledge that
forgiveness plays an important factor in our everyday lives. Also, because
revenge is an extremely broad topic, it can be looked at in different aspects
and have different meanings. On the other hand, I feel that the term reconciliation
created the least amount of information.
In some of the searching I have done a lack of forgiveness can have a negative impact on an individuals life. Its amazing to me how much this idea of forgiveness can effect people so much, and it is also one of the hardest choices to make. Forgiving someone who wronged you is incredibly difficult and a daily process and yet I believe it is one if the most important things someone can do for themselves. Great post!
