Forgiveness
Is it possible to forgive and forget?
Was browsing through the web, when this one quote struck me:
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”- Lewis Smedes
That is sooooo right. Ive been into fights (am no war freak, just to clear) and i know how it feels when you’ve been wronged, or you’ve done someone wrong.. and you just keep it in. It feels heavy, lonely — maybe, like being in prison.
But, as I mature (forever young, hehe), I learned to forgive. Well, maybe cause am not really the type who gets mad for real… but, something in my life happened, and this made me learn to forgive.
Sometimes, the people who hurt us do not know what they are doing, so we need to understand… that’s what I learned. Imagine doing something for someone who caused you and your family a lot of pain… and doing it happily, isnt that forgiveness. This is what I did.. Now, i even learned to like that one person.
… and now that I know, everyday, I try not to be trapped. There’s courage in forgiveness — courage to love.
