Is Forgiveness a Sign of Weakness?
When we tell people we do “forgiveness work,” we can get some pretty strange looks. It’s common to think forgiveness is an option, not a necessity for positive emotional health.
Many believe forgiving means letting others walk all over you or that it condones bad behavior. That’s a misunderstanding of what forgiveness really is.
Forgiveness and justice are not enemies.You can forgive someone and still set boundaries, ask for fairness, and uphold accountability.
If your boss, your mother, or your spouse keeps demeaning you, forgiveness helps reduce the anger poisoning your heart but justice may mean calmly asking for more respectful treatment.
Forgiveness:
“Does not mean allowing abuse”
“Does not excuse harmful behavior”
“Does not lower your self-esteem”
“Does not replace legal justice”
In fact, science shows forgiveness actually boosts your self-worth, frees you from resentment, and helps you reclaim your peace.
It’s not about being “nice,”it’s about being free.
At Better Days Center, we believe forgiveness isn’t weakness, it’s courage in action. Healing begins when you let go of what holds you back.
