Small talk:
I know it has been a while. I was busy straightening some of my stuff but here I am, back in action again. Please accept my apology for being a slow blogger. He he...
To Forgive & Forget

Why is it sometimes so hard to forgive? Have you ever been hurt or insulted by others? Or have you ever do it to other people?

To forgive and forget needs a lot of courage especially when you were hurt or betrayed by those people that you cared so much, i.e.: family members, siblings, partner or spouse, good friends or close friends. It’s feels like as if your heart was being cut by blunt knife or your back being poked by so many fingers that you’ve lost count. No one can imagine the pain and suffering that you’ve endured.

In this realistic world, the fact is that human being is selfish. It’s just many refuse to admit or show it. Internal rivalry, jealousy and resentment within family members or siblings or in the same circle of friends can be very terrifying & mind draining. You will never know when they will initiate their attack against you. But then again, why these things have to happen when in the first place there shouldn’t be any rivalry or jealousy at all.

There should be love, acceptance and patience between them and not one of the 7 deadly sins. The green eye monster should not have even existed between these people. Even if you were hurt or betrayed, it’s about time to let go. No point carrying the disgruntle feeling with you. It’s a burden. So it’s better to choose to let go the hurt. Forgive and forget are the words. Life will be much better.

At one point of time, someone might offend you severely or does something to you, which have always upset you. Don’t forget about them but you learn to forgive them. People say that it takes a strong person to say sorry, but it certainly takes a stronger person to forgive. So, when someone apologies, you know they can’t amend the past. But, this will certainly determine the future. Maybe sometimes you will say that “sorry” is not enough but then again what is enough?

Learn to let go.
