Don't forget to Forgive

"To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love, in return you
will receive untold peace and happiness"- Robert Muller
Life is a journey. In a lifetime, every individual comes across
different situations. Disappointment in others comes just as easily as
happiness does.
Every kind of relation is special. It is a known fact that sometimes,
talking to that person is all the therapy we need. Such is the role
played by them. Whenever we feel down in the dumps, just their presence
can give us wings. Even a person in such a wonderful position may make
us question our trust in them.
When we find that someone close to us has disappointed us in any way, we
often react in a flash, keeping that one mistake in our mind, forgetting
about a history of relation. At that moment nothing else seems to
matter.
We may even carry that burden all our lives, the negativity just keeps
on increasing and when it's too late, we realize what we have actually
lost. A valuable person.
One should understand that there is nothing we can gain from anger. One
must believe in second chances. People may say or do things either
intentionally or unintentionally.
Forgiveness is the need of the hour. We must not let anger get the best
of us. Nelson Mandela said "To love comes more naturally to the human
heart than its opposite" and what is more beautiful than the love of
forgiveness?
One word of forgiveness is giving the wrong doer a chance to redeem
himself/herself. Forgiveness also has wonderful returns. We find
ultimate solace in having let go a burden from our shoulders. It may be
hard at first, but later we feel grateful for not acting in a haste.
Forgiveness is one of the most important lessons to be learnt in life.
Forgiveness is an act that keeps relations intact.
