Great Minds,

Today I witnessed a reprisal event that caused serious damage. This brings me to the post forgiveness.
when you live your life without anyone hurting, disappointing, disgracing or offending you, then it means you never did anything worthy. Furthermore, if you are making impact and make change in your environment, then it is a must, you cannot escape hurting, offending or going against someone. The truth is We live in the mix of people with different mindset, different ideologies. what interest you or what you feel is good may be otherwise for another.
The secret of living is to forgive as much people that offend you and you know need your forgiveness. While it is true that you can not please everybody thereby offending some. It is imperative you forgive those who offend you.
One thing about forgiveness is that it works double sided. When you forgive you set yourself free. You feel the joy same as the person you forgive.

there are so many people who are buried daily, and their crime is that someone they offended couldn't forgive them.

There are innocent orphans and street children out there whose crime is that someone didn't forgive their parents.

The reality is that even as you read this piece, there may be someone you have blocked on WhatsApp or facebook, or you have decided not to respond to his/ posts/messages and the person's crime is that he/she is naughty, broke your heart, disappointed you or said something that really offended you. You aren't talking to your roommate, an old friend, a family member, your Ex or that special friends because they offended you and you can’t forgive them.

The beauty of life is that it comes with disappointments and offences from people you least expect.

Unfortunately, some of us spend so much time on the disappointments and offences and end up becoming victims of all circumstances.

Remember this one thing always: Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

The fact is that the world is full of annoying, naughty and ungrateful people; you will always come across them during the gentle stroll of your life span, but the best thing to do is to deal with them with love and maturity. You can’t get everyone to behave like you. Never!

Hatred and intolerance have caused many of the world's problems and have solved none of them. We must learn to tolerate and forgive one another. We must bury the faults of others and move on with life.

As you read this post, make conscientious effort to forgive that special person you have grudges with and sort out your grievances. Muster the courage and apologise to that person you have offended. The clock is ticking, man is ageing, grave is calling and we are not in charge. Life is short, you don't know how much time you have left... Live life to please God.
