Forgiveness and self expression

We limit our self expression by not forgiving.
Whatever we do impacts other people as well as affecting ourselves. Often the effect of our actions is not what we expected. If we are to live and learn, we will often cause both desired and undesired results.
We could choose to limit our self expression, thus limiting both our desired results and our undesired outcomes.
Or we can forgive ourselves and others for undesired outcomes, and live our lives more fully.
