peace.
(statement wasn't intended for short ninja)
short ninja should just let it pass, he has passed on. it's not
what you believe in that makes a difference, it's who you are and
what you stand for.
let it rest. peace be with short ninja.
unfortunately, there is no "should" in forgiveness. nobody who
has his face slapped, automatically feels that he "should" forgive.
Given that, some forgives easier than others, but there are those
who just can't let go. they need God's love and grace to overcome
that.
And it helps if the offending party initiate to ask for
forgiveness for any trespasses, and apologise. A christian
is called to be a peacemaker, something i just recently
learnt.. honeybunz would do well to remember that.
i should know how ninja feels, because i'm someone who naturally
bears grudges too. but in the end, will forgive la, but it takes a
long while to continuously remember to forgive again and again,
everytime i remember the incident.
and of course, i forgive easier, when i hear the word "sorry".
