Pardon

To pardon, from the Latin perdonare, means “to totally release from obligation”.
By pardoning, we erase the obligation of the person who has caused us harm.

In doing this, we release ourselves from the obligation to seek reparation and we radically change our own existence.
Pardoning is not a charitable act towards another person, it is a great favour we do ourselves.
We break the link that ties us to the offender and holds us back.
By declaring them free of their “debt towards us”, we free ourselves at the same time.

What pardon could you give that would open the door of your prison?
Do you feel like pardoning someone to free yourself and live a more carefree life?
