The most important and the most difficult thing to give is forgiveness. Forgiveness. Yes, that is it. I must forgive, always, again and again, forgive. As soon as I stop forgiving, I build a wall. And a wall is the beginning of a prison. Above all, if life I've got to do two things: understand and forgive, forget.
I know many people and I know the secrets of many people. And I know only too well that no two persons are the same. Each person is an entire world in himself and he lives and feels and thinks and responds from his own world. And the deepest core of that world is still unknown to me. Therefore, it seems obvious that, in the normal course of events, disagreements, frictions and tensions will develop. Only when a person understands that other people are different, he is ready to forgive, and is it possible to live together. Otherwise, there is a state of natural siege and you live in a day-in, day-out, cold or hot war.
There are many exceptionally good opportunities for us to make peace, or to make up our quarrels. We so often get a chance to give a small present, to send of reconciliation, of forgiveness. Once the first step, the most difficult, is taken, the rest is easy. Forgiveness, the most beautiful gift.
