  So unforgiveness is the desire for retribution, for payback.
• 0:05
  That's dangerous because a lot of times the opportunity for
• 0:10
  retribution is not there. It's toxic because we live our
• 0:14
  lives with the notion that that person owe me something, the
• 0:18
  person who hurt us owe me an apology or owe me something.
• 0:22
  And it's a debt that is often not paid by the person.
• 0:27
  That's why we need to just forgive the debt because they're
• 0:30
  not going to pay us anyway. A lot of times where where you
• 0:33
  find unforgiveness, the perpetrator is not willing, is
• 0:37
  not willing to fix the issue. So now what we have done with
• 0:42
  unforgiveness in that situation is we have incarcerated
• 0:46
  ourselves, We have locked ourselves in a cage.
• 0:49
  We build it, we lock it, we have the key and we are behind bars.
• 0:53
  That's what unforgiveness does. It's toxic, it's poisonous.
• 0:56
  It builds walls, not bridges.
