We’re back! After our break last week, Matt and Gene come together to discuss the topic of forgiveness and of letting things go. We try to first define what forgiveness is, and what it means to forgive. When is it appropriate to forgive, and who does it really benefit? Do forgiveness and letting go walk hand in hand, or are they actually separate actions? Is there a meaningful difference between letting something go and forgetting it happened? We also veer a little bit into the topic of anger and how that influences our ability or willingness to forgive. Tune in to hear our discussion!
