GIRMA’S HEART OF FORGIVENESS

Forgiveness means to forget someone’s bad deed or mistake, and don’t punish him/her on that bad deed or mistake, or on bad behavior.

Sometimes, a person performs such act which is damaging for us, hurt us, or mistake; it can cause damage on both sides.

For example we fight or try to take revenge which means we do the same bad deed which the other did.

There will be no difference between that person and us.

Secondly if we forgive someone then we are at higher place. There will be no damage to our self respect, instead we become when we avoid forgiveness, a feeling to take revenge always resides in our heart which can cause frustration and as result we may damage our personality.

But if we forgive someone on his bad deeds, we feel light, our heart and mind become relaxed and it has a great impact on our personality.

It is the need of time to create a sense of forgiveness in ourselves. Otherwise many lives can be the victim of our so called ego and revenge.

Forgiveness is almighty. Throughout lifetime and through the journey of individual’s life, forgiveness is a gift. It can be a choice or an emotional spirit however trying to forget something a person has done is not easy and simple thing to bury. Some people hold grievances and bitterness for years and others just cannot wipe out the situation especially serious incidents.

Forgiveness is a dedication to an individual that he or she has been forgiven, a process of change and a new start.

It is very significant to give a soul another chance, everybody make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. Learning to accept others flaws create healthy relationships.

Forgiving someone takes ability and willingness before you can totally say that you have forgiven a person.

It is a process between the soul and mind.

Forgiveness is being able to let go of harm done. It is relinquishing a sense of injured entitlement or tit-

for-tat.

Forgiveness releases us from resentment or bitterness and lets us reclaim our energy and sense of balance. Forgiveness is a personal challenge and means accepting responsibility for your life; not blaming others, and not judging others. Many people carry emotional scars from their past,

To begin a healing process one must decide to let go of any anger, bitterness, blame, resentment or hostility toward others or himself.

Within our soul and mind, there will always be a space for people’s mistakes therefore; there will always be a chance to forgive them.

No one is perfect.

Please to you all that I offended one way or the other, please find a place in your heart to forgive me.

Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day.

So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
