"Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which depitefully use you, and persecute you... for our Father maketh the sun rise on the evil and the good, and sendeth rain on the just and the unjust." The above quotation is from the sermon of Jesus Christ. How many of us have developed pardon in a day today life?

Pardon is a kind of understanding, if a person behaves badly, there may be some reasons for it in their background, they have learnt to think negative thoughts and so on. The Greek Scriptures in the Bible uses the word Agápe about the love we should show our enemies. It is not Philía, which means friendships, but a love built on principles, we wish that even our enemies would change and learn to know the truth about God. If we try to find the good sides of others, instead of lookin at their bad sides, it will also help to pardon them.
