The Forgiveness Fix

The forgiveness fix 

It was about time I made that decision to voluntarily change in feelings 

I eagerly wanted to fix my attitude regarding common offenses o these negative emotions I gave towards others 

I uttered these words hoping for a fix, but little did I know I would begin by saying 
“Please forgive me for my actions and what I have done to you”

Saying these words increased my ability to wish well to those I have offended 
Psychologically my concept and virtue had no benefits in the beginning, but I had to explore my religious thoughts while aligning them with medication I was drinking

I had no expectation of restorative justice and no response from my offender 

Social and political dimensions had me letting go of anger and the hurt I was feeling 
This resentment was strictly private and religiously spared to help myself forgive first 

I had this faculty of forgiveness which had its place in the public affairs
I was a philosopher believing that forgiveness liberates resources both individual and collection in the face of the irreparable 

My forgiveness was used interchangeably interpreted in many ways with my culture 
My forgiveness was a key component in communication and progression with my offender maintaining an antecedent of forgiveness in understanding
