So I’m currently writing an assignment for my mental health and well-being paper. The aim of this assignment is to examine the different pathways in which a well-being of an individual is enhanced.
Now, this may seem super random because compared to my other posts. I’ve never really done this. But I was wondering, if anyone, and I mean ANYONE would like to contribute.
What I really wanted to know is, when you think of that one happy moment..just that ONE HAPPY moment, what do you feel? & What is it that makes you feel that way?
Another is forgiveness. Has anyone ever taken the courage to forgive a particular person in their life that has hurt them? & has this brought a sense of relief?
The signs & stories of hope, and what had led you to such hope. I honestly believe there’s hope for everyone that is on here. You just have to take that leap of faith.
anyways, thaaat is all for now. ha
Toodles beautifuls. & keep smiling xx

I feel good when I see my enemies fall, and writh then suffer and die. It brings me great satisfaction. There is no god and no such thing as hope.
I don’t want to see my enemies fall at all…I don’t like anyone falling (including me) and went to many people’s aid in my life to help and support people in trouble. I don’t know why I don’t want my enemies to fall cuz I sure got angry with them and wanted to hurt them but I never could if push came to shove I wouldn’t initiate violence (but I would defend myself). As for forgiveness? Well I find it hard and have done it many times but if your life has been made worse but someone it’s hard to forgive…but it’s possible particularly if the parties involved sought a sincere and honest resolution face to face. But I don’t seek some major catastrophe to befall them.
I always feel sad, but there are times when everything seems to stop and for a moment I feel calm and comforted. i feel like I have strength in me, like I have dreams again, and, yes, I even feel happy.
It’s because of a friendship I made here that’s grown into something more. It’s extremely long distance and that has a negative effect on both of us, but she represents nearly everything that is good in my life and I’m so thankful we met.
As far as forgetting, yes. I used to wish all my bullies harm but decided that there wasn’t much good in wanting them to suffer as they had made me. I’ll never forget though…
Forgiveness – most people think it’s something you do for others, those that have wronged us in some way … and it part, it is. But the much larger purpose of forgiveness is something we are giving to ourselves. It’s a resolution to an unpleasant situation – it allows us to give that situation a conclusion. We don’t have to wish the offender to have good fortune or good health etc. but we, ourselves can finally stop dwelling on revenge and retribution – getting even – for the transgression committed against us. We forgive them – not so they get a “free pass” – but so we can move on to other things that are much more important in our lives. To forgive – to say “I forgive you” is to basically say “this is the end of this chapter of the story” – “The end”.
It does NOT “erase” the action or the history – that is all still there, but it ends our using our time, energy and resources in plotting, planning all the things we could or should do or should have done regarding this particular situation.
You can forgive someone for stealing from you – that doesn’t get your property back or gain you restitution … it also doesn’t change the fact that the thief is still a thief … it simply means you no longer need to let the theft eat at you – what’s done is done, learn the lesson – not to trust this person (thief) – and go forward. Learn not to give everyone blind trust so they might have the opportunity to steal from you too. … but go forward – be done … let fate and the legal system deal with the thief, forgiveness means it’s no longer your responsibility to take on the task of dealing with this problem.
Forgiveness is mostly for the forgiver, not the forgiven. Forgive often and use your time and energy for thing that will have positive effects in your life.
