What can you do when someone hurts (伤害) you? Most people may be angry or even fight with the one who hurts him or her. But it’s not a good idea. The best way is to forgive (原谅) them.

If the people hurt us, although it is not easy for us to forgive, it is still possible. “Forgiveness makes you more hopeful. And it is good for our health,” says Frederic, Ph. D, the writer of the book called Forgive for God.

But how can we forgive others?   

First, think of something nice and try to make yourself happy.

Second, don’t wait others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say sorry to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.

Third, try to see things in others’ shoes. You can think you are the offender (冒犯者),   and write a letter to yourself.

That can make you know their ideas better and make yourself happier.

At last, don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge (挑战).

And it also makes you more confident (自信的).
