117. The inability to forgive is what often deprives many of us of happiness and peace in life.

Forgiving is not something that is easy for everyone. The more pain we have experienced because of someone else, the more we may hate that person.

We must decide that no one else should ever be hurt because of us, and for that, we must be careful not to do bad things on our part. Our actions should never cause harm to others.

It is easy to forgive, or at least if we want to, we can forgive to some extent.

Not everyone is able to forgive the same way, and it all takes its own time.

Many of us may have made mistakes due to the ignorance of age.

If we have done wrong to others in any way, we are obliged to apologize to the people who have suffered because of it.

Getting forgiveness is a relief. We need to make an effort to avoid repeating such mistakes in the future.

May we be able to forgive those who have wronged us as much as we can. May we also be able to ask for forgiveness from those we have wronged as much as we can.
