Forgiveness is priceless

strongly believe that nobody is perfect. Let us touchbase on one aspect of life only –– which is forgiveness. Knowing that forgiveness is priceless and it does not cost us a penny, yet people cannot forgive each other easily in fact some do not forgive at all. For many people, forgiveness is one of the hardest steps of all, yet it is essential. Just like what Mother Teresa said, “If we really want to learn how to love, we must learn how to forgive.”

The most valuable lesson I learnt in life is that no matter how good and lovable you may be, with just a tiny mistake or a simple misunderstanding, you will wipe out all the good you have done. It is sad but true; people tend to flush all the good memories down the drain due to an insignificant slip-up. That’s because human instinct does not weigh the good and the bad at the same time. Nevertheless, they will always weigh out the good and focus on the bad, which makes it hard for them to forgive.

Focusing on one angle of a problem constructs you to witness only the dreadful side of the dilemma. To forgive and forget is something many of us lack to do but we shouldn’t stop trying because a candle losses nothing when it lights another candle.

Learning to forgive others is a simple practice. All you have to do is put yourself in the other person’s shoe and sense how would you want to be treated if you did something wrong. How would you feel being a victim that committed a negligible crime and you were then sentenced to life in prison! That's why just make it a habit to forgive others, ignore your pride, ego and move on. All I can say is, thank God no human will judge our deeds and actions in life during judgment day. Simply because God is always forgiving no matter what sin you carry out and humans aren’t!

Remember do not shut out people for mistakes they’ve done. In fact find out what went wrong; who knows maybe you are the problem maker. Hence, make it an effort to listen and recap what actually happened; believe me, most of the times it’s not worth the fight. Despite knowing that the love you used to share will defiantly tremble, we must learn to move on. Even if the love you shared shudders, respect should remain. In other words, you may never forget but you can choose to forgive. To forgive means to give up, to let go and restore faith.
