It is like reaching in the TOOL box...when ever you want to fix something!! Forgiveness is the greatest tool. We all know that Allah will forgive us when ever we really regret and intend to be better…we count on that or else guilt would choke us... But we have faith in Allah's mercy. We have faith in Allah's forgiveness. That he'll take us back no matter what we did... We also experience times when we have to forgive our loved ones. When they unintentionally hurt us. Even if they do intend to hurt us...we find ourselves forgiving them...cause really...we can't live without them...we can't stand the thought of them leaving that great void in us.. We find ourselves not able to tell them,GO AWAY!! Even if we hurt or need more from them...who ever has a heart...it's very likely that it's gonna ache and pulse with joy.. And because love maintains life for our hearts we forgive... Sometimes we find ourselves confused about ourselves!! Because this is humanity...full of contradictions...you tend to want something you refuse... Then hate yourself for wanting and refusing. It is when you have to reach in the tool box and bring forgiveness into your heart... To fix yourself...forgive yourself...and go on and try to make it better the next time. With forgiveness...wars are put off before they ignite...at least the internal soul wars... Where there shouldn't be any casualties...any wounds to scar forever... No need to. Really. Bad endings are not a must!! We can forgive everybody and enjoy what we can...while we can...open up a little bit more...loose all rock hard conceptions and return to our SPONG mode... When RICH,LOVING,CARING and PEACEFUL experiences fill our lives with what makes us unique.

Thank you for reading my post..i really appreaciate that..
i just can't get what u say..
to forgive and forget..means that we don't care enough to forgive and live..
forget means that who ever we forgive didn't even count..
that is strange..
any way..may be what goes for you is hard on others..

said:That's a wonderful post and very true! Point is though that forgiving requires a personal greatness, often a personal jumping-over-the-own-shadow and not everyone is capable of doing it! Someone needs to get to a point in which he/she is ABLE to forgive ... and in order to reach that point, it takes a lot of work ... on oneself!
Big hug ... as well to mom!

That's such a lovely post TheCaller (or should I say Rika?)
My personal position on forgiveness is like this:
"Forgive and forget, live and let live"
No need to carry grudges against loved ones. It's better to archive the lovely times in our minds than carry the weight of hate around for ever.
May God bless you
