S7E7 -The Black Box of Forgiveness

"To err is human, to forgive, divine.” 
― Alexander Pope

Forgiveness seems to be one of those complex events that we take for granted and assume we understand to the fullest. 

We all know that saying “forgive and forget”. 

Right, like it is that simple. 

Sometimes we equate forgiveness with pardon, condonation, and/or excusing bad behaviour. 

Many times we don’t even know who the act of forgiving is actually for, us or our transgressors?

Many of us espouse its importance, either socially, mentally, or religiously. Yet practising forgiveness in real everyday life often eludes us, and that’s just because it is not a natural reaction.

Trying to unpack forgiveness is a wicked problem but at the same time a necessary one to unpack as it is the start of many other necessary conversations.

In this episode with Mishael, we unpacked what forgiveness means to us, what happens when we forgive, why we forgive, the role of vengeful personalities, forgiveness and wellbeing, forgiveness in cancel culture, and lots more!
