To Err is Human, To Forgive Divine….a biblical passage that explains why we should learn to forgive because God in his greatness forgives. But what is inevitable is to forego the ability to forget. Once a mistake have caused immense pain then we naturally succumb to its effect. The consequence of being prone to hurts and pain. Machiavelli have pointed out how humans are naturally evil, that we often inflict pain on others as a response to how these significant others have inflicted pain on us as well. Psychology have reiterated our brain’s propensity to remember those sad and painful moments in our lives and naturally cultivate it.
How can then we possibly forget the faces and the names as well as the persona of those who have caused frustrations and confusions in our brains? It is easy to push one to forgive and then forget but such is easier said than done. And so if you say that you’ve forgiven but never have forgotten then such is pure mediocrity for we can never forgive if we have never forgotten!
No worries my dear because as the passage above have stated….to err is human, to forgive divine…we can never be divine but we will be forever human…prone to mistakes and immensely vulnerable!
The GIFT however that was given to us is the ability to think and decide….your susceptibility to errors is overpowered by your intellect….something that made you way superior than all the creatures in this universe.
Hence use that power to prevent errors and regrets in the future….logic my dear…simple logic!
