Today I learned a very important lesson from my friend. She told me that, when you commit a mistake, feel free to ask for forgiveness. Look at their eyes and from the bottom of your heart, repent and ask for forgiveness. FULL STOP.
Now, I posed this question to her “What if the other person doesn’t forgive ? What if he/ she decides to keep the grudge ?” I got the reply that, “Let it be”. I was confused. I used to think that the cycle is complete, only when we ask for forgiveness and when they tell us that, they have forgiven our transgression.
I was told that, that was not the case. It could simply be that, out of their own insecurity and negative feeling, people may simple choose not to forgive you and instead choose to remind you about your mistakes, for the rest of your life. So does that mean, you keep waiting for all eternity for forgiveness from them ? No, ask for forgiveness and then simply move on.
Think about this today, my friend. If there are people who have not forgiven you, it’s their problem and not yours. Today is your day, to feel liberated. Today is the day, to break the shackles that held you for so long. Today, is the day, when you will be free, in its true sense.
