Longing

One day, I was handed an envelope. Curiously I slit it open, inside was a slip that says "The key to love is forgiveness."

Then there was this moment that I became stall. It is as if that phrase has traveled from my visual system into my brain and all of a sudden it just clicked. The down side is, as much as I love to believe and practice that quote, someone I know does not or maybe have not found a place yet in it. Sometimes it's hard to believe that forgiveness is all you need to set yourself and someone you love free; forgiveness is all you need to make someone gladful and happy and to make life more hopeful. Then, the issue of chance came to me. Very often, chance and forgiveness go hand in hand. Sometimes, one final chance is all a person need to prove things right, but very often too, that one final chance is what most people do not get to achieve.

I am ashamed that I have to be in the position of most of those people now.
