About Forgiveness

Forgiving an injury is usually considered to be a sign of weakness ; but I am of the opinion is that it is really a sign of strength, it is quite easy to allow yourself to get carried away by resentment and hate into an act of vengeance ;

but it takes a strong character to restrain those natural passions. The person that forgives an injury proves himself/herself to be the superior of the person that wronged him, and puts the wrong-doer to shame. Forgiveness may even turn a foe into a friend,( which happened to me a few months ago), so we may think that mercy is the noblest form of revenge.
