About this document
Unforgiveness: The Painful Hook Metaphor by Adriana Ibanescu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document uses a metaphor to explain how holding unforgiveness towards someone who has hurt you is like both you and the offender being hooked in a painful way. It states that the only way to free yourself from this painful hook is to first forgive and let the offender off the hook, otherwise a lifetime of unhappiness may result from clinging to unforgiveness. The metaphor was suggested by Stephen Hayes to illustrate how forgiveness benefits both parties.
