to err is human, to forgive divine

so the saying goes.

that as humans, to make mistakes is but an entitlement we have.
for we are given wills, desires, ability to choose and take action, emotions... all of which influence the outcomes of our lives, and the circumstances we find ourselves in.

and to forgive is not even our place, because only the Creator has that right to forgive His creation.

we should not even contemplate holding a grudge, not even contemplate being angry, not even contemplate having to forgive someone, because we are not infallible ourselves. at another time, at another place, it might be us committing the very same deed which others commit towards us.

forgiveness should come as naturally as breathing.
forgiveness should flow like the day flows into night.

when a deed is committed, anger is but fleeting, and the thought to forgive should immediately be a consequent, and forgiveness and letting go from that point on.

it is hard to do.
really hard to do.
for a mere human like me.
