Forgive and forget often heard proverb in our day today life. The humanity today undergoes a big turmoil due to lack understanding. The children of today are more sensitive and more proven to get angry even for little things when it does not go according to their likeness. As a result they tend to get upset with things. Well there are so many other reasons that makes whole of humanity to undergo certain amount of tension and misunderstanding that leads emptiness in life tend to get hurt which remains for days, months, years which leads to permanent hurt. The children of this modern world need to be taught the value of forgiveness. When they learn to forgive things, persons they are healed and that brings in them inner happiness which in turn leads them to spread the fragrance of happiness to people around which ripples in multitudes making people happy.
Leaning values in school days one of the main objectives of education. A child who learns good values in younger days keeps growing in the right path. The good virtues leads the child to the greater heights in the society. A child with good virtues climbs the ladder of success in life very fast. As we all know among all the success finally stands good values behind successful story. Today when we look around the world we find fight, bitterness, misunderstanding that leads to all confusions in the world. It is very important that children learn at the young age virtue of forgiveness in school days. So that he/she is able to handle the worst situation in a better way to lead a life that makes people around happy.
To forgive is the quickest way to end trouble and to have peace and unity. For a forgiving spirit is, by its very nature, a very unifying force. It can remove the barriers of separation between peoples and nations and weld them together in peace and goodwill, something that legislation with the help of armies can never accomplish. To hate is to die physically and spiritually, but to forgive is to live. Hatred, bitterness, and resentment – these feelings do not belong in a healthy mind and heart. The ability to forgive may not come quickly or easily, and it may be necessary to forgive seventy times seven.
Where values are deteriorating these days, I am pleased that our education focus more on ‘values’. the children should try more often, to apply these good values transmitted through little skits and anecdotes, in their day today life as they come across different situations.
Just living is not enough. One must have values in life. We should live in alignment with our values, vision and abilities. Amongst the many values that we hold, forgiveness is the most sublime. As Dr. Wayne Dyer says, ‘it is the most powerful thing you can do for yourself on the spiritual path. If you can’t learn to forgive, you cannot get to higher levels of awareness’. Forgiving everyone is your ticket to heaven.
Quite often, we are fast to anger but slow to compassion. Of course, it is painful when somebody illtreats or hurts us. But , we must forgive whenever possible. Sometimes there are certain things or people we cannot forgive no matter how hard we try.
This is when we must give it to God, for God is greater than we are, and can take care of whatever we can’t.
It is good also to have a brief moment of meditation and silence. When we are welled up with anger. Meditation helps to keep serene.
He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass. The wisdom hidden in this statement is that forgiveness benefits both the giver and the receiver.
When true forgiveness takes place, no scars are left, no hurts, no thoughts of revenge; only healing. Forgiveness is a healing power. And forgiveness can bring the greatness in you. Let’s pray today that we may be able to uphold these values in our lives, especially the ability to forgive. So that people around us live happily and make others to be happy in the days to come.
