Reflection on the chapter forgiveness from the book Is Your Child Ready to Face the World? By Dr Anupam Sibal
I got to
know about forgiveness for the first time when I read Dr Anupam Sibal’s book
and learned about the magic forgiveness creates. I understood that forgiveness
is setting a person free and discovering the person was you itself as when we
don’t forgive, we don’t feel good, and it is we who suffer, but if we forgive, then it is we who feel happy.
I had no
experience of forgiving someone or someone who has forgiven me. If I happen to meet
with such knowledge, I will always keep in my mind that forgiving people is forgiving
ourselves.
There are
beautiful examples in the book of Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi who were
always forgiving. Nelson Mandela forgave the people responsible for
putting him inside the jail for 32 years, and Mahatma Gandhi forgave all people
who did wrong with him.
I will never forget that Forgiving is the key to peace and happiness.
