To Err Is Human, to Forgive Is Divine ..

Everyone makes mistakes, commit sins at some point in there life. It’s a human nature to make mistakes. But to forgive someone from those mistakes is indeed very hard. It doesn’t happen naturally like making a mistake. People are acting in a divine way when they forgive. One almost have to be in a real holy place in there mind to forgive someone.

” To err is human” it’s only human to make mistakes. As humans, we think we forgive but usually we can’t forget easily, which is a larger part of forgiveness. And” to forgive is divine” means that it’s very difficult for a human to forgive. Man should always be forgiving as it is human nature to commit mistakes. Adam and Eve, who disobeyed God by plucking the forbid¬den fruit, were our forefathers. They were shunted out from the Garden of Eden by God when he came to know about it. Sometimes in his anger man loses his senses and commits mistakes. But once he has done the mistake it is done. That is unalterable. The only remedy to correct the mistake is acknowledgement and realization. Since all of us are sinners at one time or the other, it will be desirable that we should forgive our enemies because forgiveness is a gift given by the God. Jesus Christ, even on the cross, during his last moments, was able to say this about the people who had put him to death: “Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing.”

All of us are humans. We all have our weaknesses and strength. No one is perfect. So when someone does a wrong to us, why can’t we forgive them? Forgiving that person brings out the holy nature that lies in human. It is not very easy to do it but once we truly forgive someone for his mistake we will feel an inner peace. “All people commit sins and make mistakes. God forgives them, and people are acting in a godlike (divine) way when they forgive.” This saying is from “An Essay on Criticism,” by Alexander
