What is the most difficult thing in this world? As far as my point of view on this issue is concerned,i believe "To Forgive.." tops the list,and its not as if i am the first one in this world to mention this,as its already there in our epics,written some million of years ago.Now the questions that arise in my 2kg mass of tissues,water and nerves right above my neck are:
1.What makes human beings,the most intelligent species in this world,so sensitive to being hurt by words??
2.Why do emotions take a toll on us,in most decisions of our life?
3.Are we more vulnerable to emotional hurt or physical hurt?
4.Why is it soo difficult to pardon others or yourself for any malfeasance commited?
Lets state a few facts first...
Man created society to maintain harmony and inter-dependability .
Society created a set of rules for 'homo sapiens' to abide to,so as to maintain a just and quarrel free mechanism to live in .
Now our brain and society clearly demarkate the 'good' things from the 'bad' ones, and so if you doing anything 'bad',i.e. anything against the norms and rules set as standards by the society,you make an ERROR!! and you definitely have to apologize,because the brain doesnt register it as a 'good' enough act..weird...!!! We make rules and if we deviate,we apologize??!!?? i feel its very human to err,and we shouldn't apologize for that,because it is this process of differing from the rest that makes people unique.But yes,i also firmly feel,just in case we do break rules and hurt others,emotionally or otherwise,the word 'sorry' is apt,to a certain degree!
Now why do people take ages to forget a folly,and FORGIVE?? The answer to this is simple,its the feedback mechanism of our brain!!...we tend to remember the past,hence it remains as a constant reminder with us forever,so the mind processes it time and time again making it difficult or rather impossible for us to forgive...be it our ownselves or others for that matter of fact..no wonder the saying " Once bitten twice shy " is famous!
On the contrary,there is also a saying which says "Its human to err and heavenly to forgive!!"
So now that we realise its not us but our mind's feedback mechanism+experience which doesnt allow us to forgive..so why allow our mind's mechanism to take full charge?? Afterall,its only human to err(not everyone is as perfect as u are ;) )
so go ahead smile,embrace divinity and grant someone a pardon,it feels angelic...! (I can already see a halo above my head..feels g(o)od!!)
