REACH 6.8 ❍ Summary and Quiz 6

Creator: @ouiCherie

You’ve learned a lot that will help you forgive. You’ve learned that:

  • When you emotionally forgive, you give an altruistic gift—that is, you give a gift that is not deserved.
  • When you wronged someone, you received a gift of altruistic forgiveness from that person at least one time. And it felt great—making you feel free, light, unburdened. You felt G___________.
  • You can do something nice for the person who offended you (even though that person might not be in touch with you, might never find out, and might not even feel the gratitude that you felt when someone forgave you). Still, this is about you doing something nice, noble, and generous. It’s not about whether the other person ever appreciates it. Why should your good feelings depend on the other person’s reaction?
