Why forgiveness isn't always the answer #healingjourney #truth #rabbi

Forgiving someone does not necessarily mean restoring the relationship. Sometimes reconciliation is simply not feasible for various reasons. Especially as we head into Yom Kippur, it can be helpful to remember that sometimes forgiveness just means reaching a place where you no longer spend energy keeping tabs on the person who hurt you, waiting for justice, or making sure they get what they deserve. In other words, healing is being able to say: “I am no longer my victimizer’s parole officer. Their life is between them and their Creator. I am free to go live mine.” #forgiveness #healing #lettinggo #spiritualgrowth #yomkippur --- *For more classes from Rabbi Shais Taub:* 🌐 *Website:* https://www.soulwords.org/ *Follow Rabbi Shais Taub:* 📸 *Instagram:* https://www.instagram.com/rabbi_shais_taub 🎥 *TikTok:* https://www.tiktok.com/@rabbi_shais_taub 🐦 *X (Twitter):* https://www.x.com/ShaisTaub 📘 *Facebook:* https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573478244968 💼 *LinkedIn:* https://www.linkedin.com/in/shais-taub-81a95466/ 🎧 *Listen to the SoulWords Podcast:* 🎵 *Spotify:* https://open.spotify.com/show/51E7XHWFDbZCGJQz7CoAZP 🍏 *Apple Podcasts:* https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/soulwords-full-library/id1450892501 *Support Our Work:* 💳 *Donate:* https://www.soulwords.org/donate/ 💰 *PayPal:* https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/soulwordspayments 💵 *CashApp:* https://cash.app/$soulwords 🪙 *Venmo:* https://venmo.com/u/soulwords *About SoulWords:* SoulWords is a virtual community hosted by Rabbi Shais Taub, where people come together to explore the spiritual insights of Torah and discover their unique purpose.
