When someone broke your heart, what would you do? would you take your revenge? would you hate them forever or would you forgive them?
Forgiveness. It is a hard thing ever for the mankind to do, to achieve. We tend to hold on our grudges on someone who put us in a hell before. I am not going to deny, I hated someone too, I hold on grudges too, I wanted to see them cry as the way I cried before, I wanted them to feel what I had been through, so we are all in common, especially on forgiving, because it is always be the hardest thing for us as we seek on equality on what we had been feeling or gone through because of someone.
I had been a situation where I found a friend who was very good friend but it did not ended well for us and I will talk about it in the next chapter. Anyway, my hatred, my anger, was so big on her, but one thing which I always told myself, she had been there with me in my darkest day before so I should at least respect her and this actually protected me from falling into the world of hatred, the world of anger. I ignored her but deep inside my heart, I am still so grateful and blessed to ever have her in my life as she helped me before. This kind of thoughts make me feel like it is more easy to forgive her.
So when there is someone ever did something wrong on you, let us practice one thing which is always remember the good things they had did for us in the past. I know, she or he may did something big that bring up you a big pain but try to remember at least one single kindness they ever did to us and it will be easy for us to forgive them for whatever they did as there will be the feeling of grateful grows in your heart.
Forgiving someone doesn't mean you have to talk with them again, you can forgive someone and still don't talk to them and that is totally okay. Forgiveness is important and this is not only a good morality that we should do but every religion teaches us to forgive. We are human, we do sins- everyday of our life but God still offer us forgiveness. God still give us great blessings in our life even if we do sins everyday. God still provides us food to eat even if we do sins everyday. So if God, the greatest, the creator, can forgive us for thousand of sins we ever did, why don't we forgive other people too.
Forgiveness is the key to calmness. Always put this in your heart, try to remember the one kindness that they ever did and forgiving should be the easiest thing to ever achieve in our life.
