How much should we forgive?

[Cainite]

when I compare my situation with yours, I see how much patience and love you have.

Today I was in the car with my mom and as usual she was complaining about everything in her life and acting like such a victim. she was angry and every moment of it bothered me. I said nothing and just listened. I spoke very little because if I wanted to speak my mind, I would hurt her and reflect her own anger and negativity.

I was drained and filled with negativity after that. until now.. I somehow released the anger. I'm no longer carrying the negativity she had with her.

Now I'm not bothered or annoyed anymore when I think of her words and actions. so the proper forgiving can be done with no effort. because I care for her.. and that's what matters.
