You are late for office and as you steered around the road a SUV of local Politician or some big shot bumps into your mini car, the owner and his bodyguards steps out , started to call you names and threaten to thrash you if you do not pay for the dent on SUV which is hardly visible. You give a sweet smile and pay the money,completely aware that its not your fault. Some other day again you are late for office and a factory worker returning from after a long tiring night shift bumps his bicycle into your mini car, you pulls down window glass and then................ I will leave up to you, You had already forgiven an intimidating man because you are no match for him, now will you forgive this ordinary man like yourself. I guess it is not that easy to forgive people who are weaker than ourself because we are already dragging our baggage of frustration rooted from our inability to forgive others. If we are able to forgive offensive but weaker people then the residual effect is sweetness in our heart. If we forgive somebody formidable ,its good, nobody wants to start a battle which is destined to fail, so once we forgive somebody stronger then ourself it may leave a bitter residue in our hearts because we didn't had a choice. Its important to inculcate forgiveness into our life so that forgiving somebody weaker and forgiving the somebody as wicked as devil means the same for us. Thus we are left with sweetness in our hearts.

We forgive others for ourselves so we can move on with our lives.
