Forgiveness

Hands up if you have got life completely sorted and under control.

No, I didn’t think I would see many hands, mine were definitely not up.
So, as we are all doing our best to work out this thing called life, we inevitably make mistakes, and if we were to be given another go at life we would perhaps do some things differently. As life is not a rehearsal, people will do things to other people that will cause upset. When this has happened in my life, I have tended to hold a grudge against the other person and talk badly of them as though I have all the answers. The thing with holding a grudge, is that those negative feelings that you are holding create the negativity in you. You are the one that feels bad because you are carrying the unpleasant feelings. Although the righteous ego finds it hard to release these feelings, forgiveness washes them away.
