forgiveness.

the bottom line
everyone makes mistakes -- don't be critical. be forgiving and give them a chance.

in detail
everyone makes mistakes -- and you should remember that today, when someone who once hurt you comes back into your life. will you choose to hold on to your anger, or will you let go of the past and give them one more chance? do for them what you would want them to do for you, if the roles were reversed. listen to what they say and give them the benefit of the doubt. the stars say that forgiveness is a wise course now. remember: forgiveness is not the same as forgetfulness. it's better.

"forgiveness is not the same as forgetfulness. it's better." it jolts me to think. have i forgiven farid or was it just forgetfulness? the angst is still deep within me when i thought of it. have i start forgiving myself? i remember a girlfriend once told me, we need to learn to forgive ourselves before we start forgiving others. same goes for loving yourself before you love others.

i have not done some soul searching for a while. once in a while, it is good to sit quietly and do some soul searching. we are human beings who make mistakes without realising. at times, our attitude may look good to ourselves but not to others. we'll only realise our bad attitude when a mirroring happens. but, it is never too late to realise our mistakes. we apologise and make amendments. all of us can say we're sorry. but how many times do we say that we're sorry and ask on how can we correct or make amendments?
