"Recent studies about forgiveness have proven what major religions advocate -- showing your antagonists compassion and letting go of the desire for revenge can improve your psychological and physical health.
Example: In a study of 71 people conducted at Hope College in Michigan, researchers found that forgiveness lowered risk of heart problems. Participants were asked to recall hurtful memories about friends, lovers, parents and siblings. Their heart rates and blood pressure tested significantly lower after they had forgiven the people who had hurt them.
Even once we know the benefits, many of us find it hard to forgive. It''s easier and seems more satisfying to strike back -- or to fantasize about it -- than to turn the other cheek. Can forgiveness really improve our lives? How can we learn to forgive?"
