would be fighting with someone else. You may not be able to forgive someone all the time, and
you may not be able to forgive repeat offenders or those who lack remorse, but there are times when
you may be able to forgive mistakes and one-off incidents that may cause you to be angry at
someone.

you; you can meet the situation with controlled understanding, acceptance and the ability to stay focused. When you

the anger though justified becomes something that you can use to help you deal with things that happen in your
life.
