Poison within: Journey to forgiveness

Unforgiveness, a silent poison, though absent from the roster of the deadly seven sins of the world, is as perilous as a snake's venom. 

In both victim and victor, harm takes its toll, as vengeance consumes, a poison takes hold. Entwined in the cycle of pain and strife, resentment breeds discord, devouring life.

In the darkness of grudges, the light fades away. Forgiveness, the antidote, brings forth a new day.

The antidote, forgiveness is a gentle healer that holds the power to transform lives. When we choose to forgive, we release ourselves from the chains of bitterness and resentment that bind us.

It is not merely an act of letting go, but a profound journey towards inner peace and liberation. Let go of the poison, release the chains of hate and embrace forgiveness, before it is too late.

For in the end, it is forgiveness that sets us free, to live in peace and harmony, as we are meant to be.
