Forgiving self may be our greatest challenge. However it is necessary if we wish to reduce the resistance we send out into the world. Why would one forgive self over forgiving another? Because one would understand blame as a pointless game, serving only the ego which desires to separate itself from the rest of the world. Blame is relative, an illusion.
If we take responsibility and say “hey, I’m the one who chose to focus on your perceived weakness, and I’m the one who perceives it as undeserving of love, and in my decision I have only denied myself, my mind I forgive,” with this approach we realign our perception and begin to heal our own eyes. If forgiving other people offers strength, then continue to do so, however recognize that as you do, you also blame. On a site note… I find it funny how society teaches us to demand an apology, as if we could not go on because another refuses to say sorry. The ego must love this game, proving to itself your freedom resides in the words of another. How silly.
