The day, as the name suggests, aims at seeking and forgiving people around us. To forgive a person who has hurt you is beneficial for your peace. Whenever an individual let’s go of hurt or anger against another person, they are free of the negative emotions that they have been piling up. This further helps in feeling lighter and makes sure that you have space to feel better emotions. Forgiveness and kindness are also the two major things that all religions across the world teach. So, if you are holding a grudge against someone, or are angry with them make sure you get rid of that emotion on International Forgiveness Day.
