Forgiveness

Life is too short to hold grudges. I do not know of such anger that can consume me to an extent that it's impossible to have control. But I know it exists, only if you push the right buttons. Every holy book speaks of forgiveness, it does not come easy. To err is human, to forgive is divine .. am I right or am I right. :)
Even if you build up the courage to forgive someone, forgetting will only come with time. So give yourself credit to be able to let go of anger and that is when you start healing. I see forgiveness as my strength. I believe in doing good. But one thing I regret is working on an impulse. Sometimes in life you hurt people and in return you get hurt. But life goes on. We are all adults here.
Jesus asked for God's forgiveness of those who crucified him. "And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'" OK no ones asking you to do that. But little things that break relations and to top it all the overflowing ego, we don't need such bitterness in our lives. Hell, I need to take extra efforts to not talk to someone. Trust me it's the hardest.
I am no angel, but I try to be a better person everyday. <Janhavi breaks in to a song> Shiny happy people laughing...by REM.

Happy thoughts make happy people. Don't let people get to you.

Ally Mcbeal

Did you ever have a day in a week that you knew is gonna be good for you? Every wednesday was my day. I used to love wednesdays... obviously it was all in my head. But those days, I used to think I'm Ally Mcbeal. I could relate to her. Things have probably changed now.
Yesterday I watched it again.... like the whole thing. I really wish they had more seasons. I wanted to know who she would end up with. But that's not the point I want to make. She said so many things that hit me somewhere deep. I tell you these writers are so awesome.
Here is what she said, "The real fools are the ones too practical for their own happiness". Things that make you happy are not necessarily the ideal things to do. As long as you are not strangling anyone.. you can go ahead and be happy. Right.
If you've not watched the series... at least take the time to see the quotes from it. Not sure if it will still make sense to anyone who hasn't watched it. But it's worth a try.

some more quotes:

Ally: I've been dumped before, Renee. This isn't pain I'm feeling, it's nostalgia.

Renee: Snow White. Cinderella. All about gettin' a guy. Being saved by the guy. Today it's the Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas. All about gettin' a guy.
Ally: So basically we're screwed up because of...
Renee: Disney.

p.s. Suits is this new series that has started. Again..its about lawyers and it's friggin awesome. A good watch.
