Because often the past is their comfort zone. It may be painful but it's familiar and the new and uncharted is scary and they would rather stay in that comfort zone, where they last felt security.

I think it is fear of the unknown. I have never had that problem..what's done is over and yesterday's news and I have never had a problem moving on...maybe it's because I've always done the leaving. But some people seem to "enjoy" not being able to move forward..for what reason (other than fear) I don't know. Year after year they are in the exact place, saying the same exact things about how hard it is to move on. So life happens around them and at the end of it they are left with very little. That is quite sad! :)

You've heard of the id? Well, the id doesn't like a blank slate. It is written into our DNA. In order to survive, we must have constant input, even if that input is emotionally unhealthy. That is a huge reason why it is so hard to rewrite our self-image and our views of the world around us. The id would do ANYTHING to avoid a blank slate OR the unknown.

When we do not forgive, we are still a victim to that person or that circumstance, as we have not let it go. The act of letting go can take great courage. Often pain, hurt, anger and grief are so overwhelming it is hard to trust or be vulnerable with another person. We take back our peace and joy when we learn to forgive. Our personality or ego holds power when we cannot forgive. We need to learn to trust and surrender. Going past ego to truth is the ownership of our love and joy. Forgiveness brings freedom of the spirit and an increase of creativity and vitality in our lives. New motivations, joys, opportunities and activities open up to us when we decide to let go and forgive. We have untied ourselves from the past and we are now in charge of our lives with new zest. We have also demonstrated a compassion and beauty that will shine through the whole of who we are. So surrender to forgiveness, trust yourself and others and give gratitude for the gift of the challenge that has helped you grow to the strength and spirit of who you are.

It's hard because sometimes people need to go back to the past, or talk about it at more length, and it's hard when one gets stifled by urging of others for them to "move on!" "move forward" "get over the past!" before they are ready to.
