Moving on means to keep one’s face turned towards the future. It means to have a clear aim, a high goal with which one is preoccupied to bother much about other things happening around. It means not to give too much importance to what happened, to learn the lessons and carry forward that lesson alone discarding all the rest as needless for one’s further journey.
Forgiveness helps the one who forgives as it gives us a chance to widen and grow wiser, stronger, generous and compassionate. It also gives a chance for the other person to change. One forgives when one understands that human beings are complex and weak creatures. We all live in ignorance and do not know the full import of our actions. It is only later that the impact as well as the result comes and one re-evaluates the course taken. It is very rare that someone consciously or with a malefide intention does something with the purpose of hurting or harming. This should be dealt with strongly and not through forgiveness.
Affectionately,
