How important do you think self-forgiveness is on our journeys?


i dont think we need any forgivness....but for our up bringing in thinking it is of service..we have an attachement to behavior we have lived and through socialization we have been made to believe that one must be forgiven and we must forgive ourself...i think if who you are requires these behaviors then it is of need to do...if you have come past that in your being and can accept life is where it is and your fine with understanding it and dont have a need for the self talk of guilt that needs to forgive oneself..then no..not needed...and if your self talk is of guilt and feeling bad..then if the self talk of letting go forgiving is needed...then...guess what...it is a need...a need if you wish to move forward..if your place is to be stuck and continue learning in the state of being...again..not needed...ok..i will hush..you get my pic i am guessing...
