Forgiveness

Decide to forgive
For resentment is negative
Resentment is poisonous
Resentment diminishes and devourers the self.
Be the first to forgive,
To smile and to take the first step.
And you will see happiness bloom
On the face of your human brother or sister.
Be always the first
Do not wait for others to forgive
For by forgiving
You become the master of the fate
The fashioner of life
The doer of miracles
To forgive is the highest,
Most beautiful form of love.
In return you receive happiness.
Untold peace and happiness
Here is the program for achieving a truly forgiving heart

Only the brave know how to forgive. A coward never forgives. It is not in his nature.
Forgiveness is the fragrance of the violet that clings fast to the heel that crushed it. So if by chance you are the :heel" that crushed that violet, this is the week to seek forgiveness.
