Forgiveness is the act of letting go of resentment or hostility. Forgiveness is not synonymous with reconciliation. One does not have to return to the same relationship or tolerate an offender’s destructive conduct. Forgiveness is critical for the emotional health of individuals who have been victims. It motivates individuals to move ahead rather than keeping them emotionally invested in injustice or pain. Studies have demonstrated forgiveness improves mood, boosts optimism, and protects against anger, stress, anxiety, and depression.

According to a new study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, joyful people are more forgiving than sad people. But, can inner optimism help you go forward, or does letting go make you happier? “Both” might be the answer: Forgiving someone for a previous offense may make you feel better whether you begin joyously or not. Forgiveness may be difficult, especially when the offender provides a fake apology or nothing at all. However, it is frequently the healthiest way ahead.
