Forgiveness is a complex experience that changes an offended
person's spiritual feelings, emotions, thoughts, actions, and
self-confidence level. I believe learning to forgive the hurts
and grudges of our life may be an important step for us to feel
more hopeful and spiritually connected and less depressed.
Speaking of spirituality, a Sufi master once said, "A river passes through many countries, and each claims it for its own. But there is only one river."
