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.

Loved the line "Happy thoughts make happy people" !!
If only people learn to forgive and forget...
:) thanks anonymous.
And if you truly believe in that line, then I suggest you must keep adding more frequent posts to your blog. Because reading it, gives a nice warm feeling, which may turn into a happy thought in the reader's mind. Thus
Jay's blog-->Happy thoughts-->Happy people!
Hey! Instead you should write a book and spread the happiness :D
Thanks for the inspiration. I appreciate it. But my momma told me not to talk to strangers. :p so I'd be more comfortable talking to an identity. :)
Forgiveness doesn't mean that you deny the other person's responsibility for hurting you and it doesn't minimize or justify the wrong. You can forgive the person without excusing the act which will help you from fallin gprey to next one.
