Will you FORGIVE or FORGET?

            This world is full of hardships and problems. You cannot survive this world if you are weak, BE STRONG! There are people that will underestimate you, people that will hurt you and people that will be the cause of your fall. These people are not meant to be your friends, especially TO BE YOUR PROBLEMS.

            Let me tell you a story. A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. The mother, preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed, the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.When the concern father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just four words.

            What do you think were the four words?The husband just said “I LOVE YOU DARLING”.

            That time the husband's reaction is not the expected one. The boy is dead. He can't bring back the boy to life again. But still, he did not blame the wife for the incident. It is maybe because he thought that no one wants that to happen. What both of them need that time was peace, forgiveness from each other and love. The husband gave those things to his wife.

            Do you think both of them will forget that incident, their child died? No right, although they forgive each other, they can't forget that incident. 

            Many times of our lives we ask who to blame for something, whether in a realtionship, school work and in our own house. For that forgiving is not only for other people, forgiving is also for yourself to move on but not forget. Do not multiply pain, suffering and anger in you, learn how to forgive but do not forget. Do not forget because these things will be your strength in facing problems in life, these memories will make you braver and stronger, so DO NOT FORGET.

            If everyone will learn how to forgive other people and ourselves life would be happier. Let's revise the quote "The best way to forgive is to forget", let's make it "Learn to forgive others and yourself, instead of having anger in you make this as your strength in life."
