I am still wondering how could I have the idea and time to write though my work is piling up and pressure is reaching to its max as time draws near to my final short semester examination and MINDS. But as people says, "Ideas comes during weird timing".This time I would like to share you a story about forgiveness.
There was an article that goes like this:
A teacher sees that her students were fighting among themselves and refuses to forgive each other. So, she started the idea of playing a game. She asked her students to bring a banana each day to school starting from the day after. So, each of her students brought their bananas each day until one day one of the students asked, "Excuse me Miss Fana,why do we need to bring the banana?It starts to rot and smelly." The others students started to complain as well.
"Now you understand how it goes." The students were still in the blank. "That rotten,smelly banana that you have there is just like the hatred within your heart. The longer you kept your hatred, your heart gets rotten each seconds. Is that what you want?Look at the person next to you. If you have ever made a mistake to them, ask for forgiveness and if they made a mistake to you, forgive them." Since that day, the relationship between the students getting better.
I also have my own experienced of fighting with my best friend when I was in secondary school. We were very close. We sat next to each other in class. We went everywhere together except to the gents,of course. But on 1 July 2003, everything changed. He started to keep his distance from me. I tried to asked about the reasons but I did not get a reply. I kept trying to ask for his forgiveness. I even bought him a book because he likes reading. Inside that book, I slipped a "I'm Sorry" post but it was still a failure. People even say that,"You are like begging for his forgiveness". Maybe I am because that is just who I am. Finally I just gave up. Maybe since than I started to have a principal of "I-will-only-ask-for-forgiveness-ONCE.If-you-won't-forgive-me,I-WON'T-GIVE-A-DAMN."
But then I realized that I cannot do that because that is just not who I am. So, I will always concern about when I made a mistake to others. If I realize my faults, I would quickly say "I'm sorry" and wait for his/her forgiveness. Back to the reason I wrote this post, it seems that other people around me sometimes too hard to being forgive full. It is not to say that I am but I just would give others chance as I would give myself.
Is it that hard to forgive others? For me personally,the answer is sometimes YES and sometimes NO. "YES, it is hard" to forgive with your heart and sometimes even our lips have the difficulty either to say, "I'm sorry" or "You're forgiven". But it is also, "NO,it is not". Ask yourself when you refuse to forgive others. I won't be able to answer that for you. Even I have the problems answering it.
Conclusion of the story,
"KEMARAHAN adalah suatu perasaan yang anda rasa pada seseorang dan inginkan perubahan padanya manakala KEBENCIAN adalah suatu perasaan yang anda rasai pada seseorang tanpa mengharapkan sebarang perubahan daripadanya". Give it a thought and which is in your heart.
