Forgive and forget...

it is so easy to say 'sorry'... but is it equally easy to forgive?

oh yes! 

it is probably one of the easiest things... because we have been doing it all the time...

a recent facebook status post brought back a deep realisation...

we forgive ourselves for our mistakes - big n small,

then why is that we hate others for a single mistake?

i knw you surely will come up with a number of reasons justifying how we cannot forgive everyone... n forgive in all situations... n forgive every action...

I would go by a simple rule... 

Type A - if i am expecting to be forgiven, i should be ready to forgive...

Type B - if i am a person strict with myself... where i make sure i deserve a punishment for my actions n do not deserve to be forgiven... then i probably have the right to justify me not forgiving another...

So, which type are u?

Even if you are a type B person, remember justifications are also our perceptions n you never know what justifications the other person would come with...

That reminds me of another facebook status message... 

"Before you judge my life, my past or my character... Walk in my shoes, walk the path I have traveled, live my sorrow, my abuse, my doubts, my fear , my pain and my laughter! Remember, "Judge not lest ye be judged." Everyone has their own story! When you've lived my life, then you can judge me!" 

So the next time you meet someone... let go your prejudice and accept the person for who he or she is...
