Forgiveness....Ever thought about that?? I mean REALLY thought about it? When someone has done something so wrong and hurt you so much that you begin to hate, Your carrying that hatred with you, in your heart, in your mind, and it even comes across sometimes in your daily being. Sometimes, it hurts you and takes more ambition and energy from you than it does the person who betrayed you. I mean, most of the time, it really doesnt matter to the person whom your forgiving, it only matters to you. I have been the person betrayed, on more than one occassion, and I have also been the one who sought for forgiveness. I made a decision on New Years, when I found out my daughter was going to have a baby..I am going to be a NaNa, I was going to try and let go of some of the anger in my life, and let go of things that hurt me in the past, and forgive..That doesnt necessarily mean that I will have any kind of interaction with these people, probably not even a real good idea, you only get one second chance with me, but I will forgive them once for being stupid thats something they cant help!!! . . It makes sense to me and with the new year, hopefully things will be better....
Mahatama Gandhi said "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong". Wow, how true is that..
