Thought of the day – “Forgiveness”

“Forgiveness is not a matter of exonerating people who have hurt you.

They may not deserve exoneration. Forgiveness means cleansing your soul of the bitterness of ‘what might have been,’ ‘what should have been,’ and ‘what didn’t have to happen.’

Someone has defined forgiveness as ‘giving up all hope of having had a better past.’

What’s past is past and there is little to be gained by dwelling on it.

There are perhaps no sadder people then the men and women who have a grievance against the world because of something that happened years ago and have let that memory sour their view of life ever since.”

― Harold S. Kushner, Overcoming Life’s Disappointments

Forgiveness is important for the self and needs no encouragement by the other.

Look at the world and all the negativity in it!

More forgiveness, more peace & harmony in this world.

Offering forgiveness is a medicine for the forgivers more than the guilty.

Makes me want to sing…

“Hello darkness my old friend” The most hauntingly beautiful cover of this song… It teaches all of us, how to be self-aware, empathetic, empowered and passionate change makers who know they matter – and embrace the importance of letting others know they matter.

“And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence”

He realizes, he is not alone who sees all that injustice, many more (Ten thousand people, maybe more) sees that, yet they never mention, or understand that, nor they act upon that.

Although, they think about the problems, oppression, and injustice around them (People writing songs that voices never share) they are not ready to stand up and change the situation.
