Forgiveness

Forgiveness

 

None of us

Is perfect

Each of us needs

Forgiveness for something

 

Granting that forgiveness

To others

Also gives it to

Oneself

 

It is an admission

Of our imperfection

That sparks hope

For living joyfully

 

If we were people who always did everything right, compassionately and thoughtfully, we probably would not be human at all. We all make mistakes. We all exercise poor judgement at times and offend others, doing damage to our own lives and those of others.

 

It has been said that a man who seeks revenge digs two graves. There is even neurological evidence to suggest that inability to forgive impedes our current functioning and our ability to enjoy life. So move on and move forward. Forgive yourself and others and enjoy this imperfect humanity we share.
