Forgiving: “Life is an adventure in forgiveness.” Norman Cousins

People are by nature flawed. There will always be times when we do things that are disappointing or hurtful to others. Sometimes these things are done on purpose; sometimes by accident. In either case, the result is the same: someone feels wronged.

It’s tempting to hold on to these feelings of being wronged and to harbor grudges. But since we’re as likely to be wrong as to be wronged, wouldn’t the world be a better place if we could forgive others as we would like them to forgive us?

I will try to forgive someone who has wronged me.
