Forgiveness is an act or a process. It is therefore a skill, a learnable skill. The best way that I have found to learn the skill is knowing that non-forgiveness is a stressor. A stressor is defined as "a chemical or biological agent that causes stress to an organism." Non-forgiveness is like a self-inflicted stressor. No one else suffers the physical and emotional pain of a stress but the non-forgiver. Lent is just about the best time to reflect more on how we can improve our health and wellbeing through more acts of forgiveness.
