Forgiveness

[Scarb]

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

This is really true, Blaue!  As what you have in your quote (by Alexander Pope),  To err is human; to forgive is divine.

It's so easy to justify our anger by getting angry and lashing bad words but most of the time once all's well, we have regrets saying most of what had been said. I am not saint, I got angry as well and a lot of times but I have made this Matthew verse a guiding star:

"It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man."

When St. Peter asked for explanation what this parable means, Jesus answered:  everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated? But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)

It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on.

Mogaan atong paminaw kung magpasylo ta sa mga tawo nga nagksala ato hinaut lang dili na sila
moutro kay masuko na sad ta ana!

I actually did, Maring!  She was so deep especially when she started talking about forgiveness.

Abi nimo Blue...bantogay rang ninggamay or ningkoko nako kay maglisod gjod ko makapasaylo.  If I am blameless hurt na...mahimog whole life wa nay tiggogay. Bitaw, in truth "it is my weakness" but i will not admit that as a person- I am weak.  Am only different in my own personal views and thinking. This way--- makes me strong.
