Have you noticed that forgiveness is something that we find difficult to cope with?
This can be from two points of view.
We find it very difficult to forgive someone who has done wrong to us, But we also find it difficult to accept forgiveness from someone who we have wronged.
We look for the reasons and for the ulterior motives of the person who seems to be offering forgiveness, or we sometimes feel that we don't need forgiveness because it wasn't our fault that 'they' were upset in the first place!
Our human nature finds it very difficult to forgive other people and the greater the hurt we have received; the harder it is to forgive those who have caused the wounds.
Sadly, there are many true stories of families whose members have fallen out because they have hurt each other, having fallen out, they do not speak to each other again.
Often this attitude prevails until one of the 'injured parties' dies.
Tragically, remorse sets in with the remaining family member, but it is all too late.
There is no way that the rifts can be healed.
The result of this is often a mix of bitterness and regret that is carried to the grave.
All the other family members look on, but there is nothing that they can do'..
Except ensure that they don't get embroiled in this web of despair.
Unfortunately, some of them do.
Forgiveness avoids bitterness. Forgiveness brings freedom.
Please take time to get rid of any bitterness you are carrying and go and forgive the ones who have caused the hurt.
"Bitterness is like a cancer. It grows and grows until'.. It kills.
I believe the sun should never set upon an argument.
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness.

There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power. Meanwhile I feel that whenever our perception of God’s greatness increases, with it we become greater, because we are the creation of a great God.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!
