Accept a Person as a Whole, not in Parts
‘To err is
human and forgive divine.'
We have been
listening to people reading or speaking about this old saying since the days of
our childhood.
But in spite
of that we are not ready to forgive others’ mistakes. Rather some of us may be
waiting for others to commit mistakes so that we may have a chance to condemn or
laugh at them.
On the other
hand, when we find ourselves in the same situation, we get easily flared up and
expect others to behave themselves in that situation.
It means
that we have double standards. We do not want the same type of rough behaviour that
we have showed to others in our near past. We forget easily or we do not want
to reflect back to our past behaviour.
If we place
ourselves in the same situation as the other person is at present, a good
change may take place in our beings.
We should
forgive others believing the old proverb that ‘to err is human and forgive
divine.’
Another fact
I would like to mention here is that when we make any type of relationship with
others, first we must become doubly sure if the person with whom we wish to go
ahead in relationship is compatible to us or not.
Keep in mind
that the person is a human being, not any divine entity, who is not prone to
commit errors. He/she can commit mistakes in life as you also do. Keep space in
your mind for this and then go ahead with relationship.
Nurture your
relationship with mutual understanding and forgiveness. Be tolerant to each
other’s faults and try not to repeat the mistake once committed.
After that,
see how the plant of your relationship grows up in a healthy and tall tree,
blessing you with its fruits for the whole life.
