The biggest problem for a human being is to forgive the offenses that have been done to him during his life. It has stone-hearted people, and they have no idea how much such subconscious repressed emotion does to their physical and emotional health.

Let's see what the Master Jesus, according to Evangelist Matthew, in chapter 18, verses 21-22: “Peter approached Jesus and asked,“ Lord, how often should I forgive if my brother sins against me? Up to seven times? Jesus answered, "I say not unto thee, Until seven times, but up to seventy times seven." ( 1 )

By way of illustration, we mention that for the Jewish people, the number 7 is emblematic, meaning PERFECTION, FULL !!! So 70 x 7, in Western arithmetic is 490. But for Jesus, it means we should ALWAYS forgive, for revenge comes from the evil one !.

Still in the same Gospel, but in Chapter 6, verses 14-15, it says: “Indeed, if you forgive men the evils they have done, your Father in heaven will forgive you also. But if you will NOT forgive men, your Father will NOT forgive the evils you have done. ( 2 )

Only forgiveness overcomes pain !. Unforgiveness entails a range of harm to one's health, not only on the physical plane but especially in the emotional field.

Anger, hurt, resentment, hatred cause an imbalance in the neurotransmitters of the brain, generating a series of disorders throughout the body. It generates an imbalance in SYNOPSIS which is the transmitting function of the messages that the brain receives and communicates to all neurons.

The main neurotransmitters, according to Dr. Lair Ribeiro, are: Serotonin, Dopamine, Acetylcholine and GABA. They are the hormones of well-being and relaxation. When in person these neurotransmitters are in HOMEOSTASE, she feels a great well-being that I call PERSONALITY HOMEOSTASE.

The main instruments to achieve this balance are: constant physical exercise, functional and balanced nutrition and spirituality.

I consider the most important spirituality of all. If you are at peace with God and your neighbor, you feel deeply at peace and, consequently, in “HOMEOSTASTIC BALANCE”. (See my articles at Recanto das Letras. www.reantodasletras.com.br/authors/antonibigcuore, whose titles are Themeostatic Balance of Personality, Homeostatic Personality, and Integral Health. These three texts will provide you with valuable insights for improving your well-being.
Think about it and be happy! God Loves You 70 x 7. !!!
