COMPASSION & FORGIVENESS - 2
continued……
In our lives, we come across awkward and difficult people, who at some time or the other, wilfully cause harm, hurt and emotional damage. Nursing the wound or waiting to ‘hit back’ can only generate negative energy ; destroying peace of mind and obstructing clarity of thought and perception.
All those nice, good people who in their desire to be exemplary in the social eye, often claim with a certain degree of vanity, that they have forgiven so and so. The ‘ so and so’ may be the boss, the bosom friend or a non-entity. But scratch a bit, and you get the universal statment, ‘ It is easy to forgive, but difficult to forget ‘. If the memory lingers, it means forgiveness is not total. A bit of the hurt, of the wound still remains embedded in the subconscious mind.
To err is human and to forgive is divine. Forgiveness is seldom practised. Some may say they have forgiven but they often talk to others with bitterness about the wrong done to them. This is not forgiveness, for true grievance is still present.Bitterness leads to frustration and emotional imbalance.
Gurus have been inducting the therapy of forgiveness. This therapy is a sure panacea for peace of mind. It leads to expansion and that awareness brings the joy of love. Forgiveness is a cleansing and a purifying process. It elevates. It is a peace pill. Forgiveness has the power to heal.
Forgiveness is not a one-time affair.It is a continuous process. It is a process which takes the beautiful form of an every day prayer, where hands are folded, forgiveness sought and forgiveness given and where that all fulfilling connectivity with the universal soul is resumed. Forgiveness makes life beautiful.
So dear friends, try to practice forgiving small wrongs and in due course it would not be difficult to forgive the real big ones.
Your blogs are message packed. I like them. Forgiveness is a good quality one has to cultivate, but it is not that much easy in this material life, coz, most of the people take this good quality as a weakness and continue to damage you.
Truly a gud one! Kinda read at the right time so it helped a lot as well!! thanks!
Keep goin!!
Forgiveness is a great virtue, but if it seems to be a symbol of one’’s weakness then throw it away.
Forgiveness is a great vitue, but if it seems to be one’’s weakness then we should throw it away.
Yes, forgiving and forgetting somebody for the wrong done to us clears the clutters in our mind and makes us more vibrant. Whereas negative energy like revenge and negative thinking saps our energy. We cannot change the attitude of every person, but we can choose how we react / respond to a situation. Your post is one of the best….. keep posting buddy.
forgiveness is best ………..for enjoying….life
really a nice post…forgiving will make life a lot easier n lighter…..no point in carrying the burden of hurt for eternity…one can always unburden n move on to a new horizon…moreover the our life n society at large is suffering , crime rate increasing n 1 reason is the lack of forgiveness..thanks for the beautiful writing…
yep it is true
well said,you are posting exemplary blogs which apart from a good read they are also good messages for all….why should people harbor burden of vengeance when they can be free,i do not think this is so difficult to follow if you have love for humanity in general……. what people don”t understand is its easier to forgive than look for vengeance and as you said one has to start of by forgiving small matters….actually i have also heard lot of tom and john stories in real life…
One has to be great enough to forgive others.
