I heard this recently in a talk:
Humans get and forget, God gives and forgives
Even if it may not be right to generalize it as humans, in the majority of humans this nature is indeed observed.
Forgetting is good, if we can forget all the bad things others did to us.
When we can give something good, however small the gesture may be, even if you can make another person smile, you have given a moment’s joy – then we are moving from being human to being God. And when we learn to forgive, however bad the crime or mistake may be, we are indeed becoming God.
So, what is Godliness? It is being kind, being honest, being truthful, to be able to give rather than to get, and, above all, to be able to forgive.
Let us give as much as we can, let us forgive everyone, young and old, without exception…
Such a powerful thought. It is amazing.
