ON FORGIVENESS...

By: Unknown on 10:00 AM

I am a liar, no less than a robber trying to defend and excuse himself from an act he was judged on. Though I did not steal anything, still I consider myself in the same category as he is...

Small lie, big lie... for me it’s the same. Whether what kind, though how small it is, it will always cause pain to those affected by it... And no matter how we try to hide it will always be exposed in the end...

Last week, I had mixed emotions... I didnt know if I would be happy for he was brave enough to tell me every detail of what happened or if ill be dreadfully sad for i finally proved that for how many years, he has been lying to me.

He lied. And that was the bottom line of the story. They told me to cast him away immediately but i did not... I opted to forgive and forget. And beacuse of the act I did, many eyebrows raised and many back fights have been made.

But here's what I want to impart to those who thought i was being unfair to my judgement. I, you, we are all sinners. It just so happened that we did different things but still, we are the same. If we commit something wrong, we will always want to be forgiven. We would wish to be freed from the burden we are carrying.

And that's what i did... I forgived. Just like what our parents did when we were caught asking an amount as payment for an imaginary project; just like what our teacher did when we were caught peekin on our seatmate’s test paper; just like what HE did when we disobeyed his commandments. ...just like what HE did when you lied.

So what do you think? I did i wrong move? I guess not. Think again, and this time, think unselfishly.
