is an answer to forget the pain. We cannot actually wipe out the action that caused the pain from our memory, but forgiveness will and does heal the pain from the action.

Therefore, things pertaining to being or of a spiritual nature suggests that it is of a non-earth nature. So, how do we forgive someone who has caused us such pain, spiritually? To forgive someone spiritually we must understand spirituality ourselves. If YOU, the reader, do not have a non-earthly acceptance of a Godly
