    Forgiveness

    Robert Enright describes forgiveness as giving up your right to resentment, negative judgment, and indifference toward someone who has hurt you (as cited in Lopez, Pedrotti, & Snyder, 2015, p. 306). Staying angry and resentful with someone who has hurt you serves a protective function. As long as you maintain your emotional shield of anger there is less chance of the person being able to hurt you again. Forgiveness means dropping the shield of anger, letting go, and leaving yourself exposed to being hurt again.
    • How is forgiveness a character strength of temperance?
    • What is the personal benefit to you in forgiving another person?
    • Are there any circumstances under which it is better to not forgive another who has harmed you? Explain.
    Be sure to incorporate course readings and resources into your discussion.

    [u06d2] Unit 6 Discussion 2

    Self-Regulation

    Self-regulation (self-control, self-discipline) addresses the ability to say "no" (as when tempted to go off a diet) and the ability to say "yes" (as when getting out of a warm bed on a cold morning). Like a muscle, the capacity for self-regulation becomes depleted with use, so if you are practicing self-regulation (dieting, anger management, creating new good habits) then you may feel exhausted before the end of the day. Delaying gratification is an important version of self-regulation, especially for online learners who are tempted by outside distractions.
    • How is self-regulation a character strength of temperance?
    • What are some of the personal benefits of developing or improving your self-regulation?
    • What are some of the areas in which you could benefit from strengthening your self-regulation character strength, and what strategies might be helpful to you?

definitions that can be used to define gratitude as used in different context. According to Robert
Enright, forgiveness as forfeiting the right to negative judgment and abandoning resentment
toward someone who has offended you (Lopez, Pedrotti, & Snyder, 2015). Humans always
become angry with their offenders as a protective way to nurse their feelings. This serves as a
way of consoling their hurts in a way of revenge. Anger is an emotional shield that protects you
from getting hurt again. Forgiving someone means dropping the resentment, letting it go when it
comes to hatred, and learning how to live free from anger.

Forgiveness shows a character strength of temperance. Forgiveness is a virtual in that tests your
temper in that when you forgive, you forget your temper. Forgiveness is a sure way of making
even with people instead of relying on punishment to your offender. However, on legal basis
