Is it easy to forgive?

Forgiveness is an active choice—very intentional and voluntary—that helps release all the negative emotions in our body.

While working as a school counselor, I remember teaching the concept of forgiveness to young students. The students seemed receptive to the lesson given; however, when the situation arose where any of them felt wronged, I noticed a lot of hesitance in forgiving. I would see these young children harboring such strong feelings of anger and rage.
