Whether you are religious or not or if religious it doesn't matter which one, forgiveness is a release from self-inflicted personal bondage. When you meet someone for the first time you can tell within a few minutes of conversation whether or not they forgive others for their transgressions against them. The attitude of forgivers is refreshing and joyful instead of bitter and vengeful. Great post! I hope others find this great self-help action to radically improve their lives.
