Beyond Forgiveness - Lessons of Betrayal
Some of the most powerful lessons are also some of the most painful experiences. Â It is out of the pain, that forgiveness is embraced. Â Most people think that forgiveness has something to do with the other person. Â Others think that to forgive oneself will provide the healing balm to extinguish the pain. Â Suppose, we turn our attention to the lesson versus the pain. Â Suppose we consider that whenever we have caused tears in another, it has never been with malice. Â Yet, when we are crying, the thought is that the other person did something wrong or we did something wrong and hence, forgiveness is necessary. Â By realizing and focusing on the lack of malice, it becomes easier to move toward the lesson. Â Forgiveness is not necessary in the classroom. Â However, it does require that the student be mature enough to be taught and take correction without having their feelings hurt.
