I came from a
problematic family and faced many of these problems. I started hating the
people who were responsible. It did not bring any solution and increased the
pain. We cannot live happily while keeping hatred for anybody in our hearts. I
had to forgive them for whatever happened in my past, and this activity made me
a happier person. It was not an easy task.
I saw a lot of
documentaries on people who were abused in some way or other in their lives.
Anger towards
the person who did all this to these children makes them bitter in adulthood.
It becomes difficult to trust people. Trust is essential to build good
relationships. These individuals have problems developing deeper relationships
with their friends and spouse
During world war
2, Jews were kept in concentration camps by Nazis. They were enslaved as
experimental guinea pigs and killed in gas chambers. This is an example of
inhuman and extreme torture in human history after the war’s end. Many Jew
prisoners were rescued. Survivors of the camp developed neurotic problems after
being rescued. Some of them found a way to live happily. Two twin sisters were
used for medical experiments in the center. They underwent many medical
interventions by a Nazi doctor in the camp. One of them died during the
experiments. Another was rescued but was not able to walk correctly after these
experiments.
She gave an
interview many years after being rescued. In the interview, she talked about
both suffered physical and mental torture. She told how humans were being used
as guinea pigs by other humans in that era. She described how she lived in
terror while dealing with experimenting on her body, how she coped with all
this, and finally faced the Nazi doctor who was still alive. She said she had
to forgive him for her happiness as we remain prisoners of the past, if we keep
hatred in our hearts.
Forgiving is the
most difficult thing to do, and you might not even like this idea. But
eventually, you may realize it is not worth it after burning yourself in anger
for years. Forgiving makes you a better and happier person.
