virtue
Patience is a learned virtue…so is forgiveness, perhaps even more potent in its degree of difficulty. How do you find it in your heart to forgive grave mistakes, the scarred past, the damaged emotions evoked. To error is to human and everyone deserves second chances. Maybe we should not be so harsh and quick to judge when we ourselves may likely one day be in the position to be forgiven, then what? Before seeking forgiveness elsewhere, we must first forgive ourselves, which may be the hardest hurdle to cross. Often in our hearts, we hold on to that acute sensation of betrayal and let it lead our lives by the pinkie. The past must not be forgotten, but at the same time it should not be put a pedestal to be forcibly worshipped to perversely hurt ourselves. Pain is not always gain…it is a precious lesson.
