Forgiveness

What do you think about forgiveness? We should asked for it or shall we give it? The answer is; the best thing to do is, we give the forgiveness to whomever without waiting for that particular person to asked it from u. With me? Why? hurm, as for me, i think because it's easily lessen our burden to think and think and wait "when he/she is going to asked me to forgive him/her"? kan?? But, i never said that we don't have to ask for it. Haish, kalau dah buat salah, pandai - pandailah mintak maaf kan? ^^

Just imagine, if people easily forgive others, Iraq won't be attack by US and, WTC will still be there. People always said, "I am not a Prophet Muhammad S.A.W, i am not easily forgive," or even worse, "tiada maaf bagimu"...wah2..ayat drama! haha. I was, sometimes said that but after a while and thinking of it, it's no use to keep the grudge. Life is very, very short. So, why should we waste it with hatred and grudge. And now, with all the natural disaster, it's a sign from Allah that the world has come to an end. If 2012 really happens, we left like...erm, one and half year? that's too short kan? (oke, i am scared to think about it. But, no one can predict the judgement day kan? huhu. So, boleh abaikan. Sila banyakkan beramal kepada yang satu kat atas tu ye). So, just spread the love, forgive others and be positive.


I found this when i google through. We can take the good ones;

To experience the life-giving nature of forgiveness, try putting into practice these six steps each time you are hurt by another person.
  1. Admit that you have needed forgiveness in the past. We all make mistakes. We’ve all hurt other people in the past. One of the key steps in being able to practice the power of forgiveness is to realize that you have needed forgiveness at some point in your life too. When we are able to humbly admit that we have needed forgiveness from another, we are in a better position to offer forgiveness to someone who has hurt us. 
  2. Understand what forgiveness is not. You were wronged. Don’t minimize the offense by pretending it didn’t happen. Granted, if you were hurt accidentally, you only need to show patience. But if you were hurt intentionally, you’ll need to accept that fact and show forgiveness.
  3. Realize the difference between forgiveness and trust. One of the most misunderstood aspects of forgiveness is when it is confused with trust. Depending on the nature of the offense, your ability to trust has been deeply compromised. Forgiving somebody does not mean that you need to restore that relationship without changes. Remember that forgiveness can be instant, but trust must be built over a period of time. Realize the difference. While offering forgiveness brings freedom, being wise about trust can protect your heart in the future.
  4. Give up your right to get even. Too many people live life keeping score. They keep a mental list of people who have wronged them in the past and live their life looking for opportunities to get even. Forgiveness provides the opportunity to erase the list and to release your heart from the burden of revenge.
  5. Choose to respond with kindness. Anyone can respond to evil with evil. But only the strong can respond with good. Kindness breaks the cycle. It can bring freedom to your soul and release your life from the never-ending, downward cycle of responding to evil with evil.
  6. Repeat the process as needed. As long as you live your life in relationship with others, you are going to be wronged. Accept the fact that nobody is perfect and be prepared to repeat the process above as needed.
If you are harboring resentment towards another human being because of past hurts, choose to forgive and move on. The harm was their fault. But allowing it to weigh down your life today is yours. Free yourself today by taking the steps to experience the benefits of forgiveness in your life.
