I believe that the secret to happiness, peace of mind and good health is being able to free our minds of any anger, hatred or resentment towards others. While it is only human to feel angry and resentment towards those who have wronged you, it takes a true winner to be able to understand and forgive. This is one of the most important lessons that my late grandfather taught me and it has served me so well. I have my fair share of people who have betrayed, cheated or wronged me. However, my ability to forget and forgive very quickly (usually with 24 hours :-)) has allowed me to live everyday with joy and lightness. I would like to share a talk by Ellen Rutledge whose son was brutally murdered but chose to forgive her sons killers... If she can learn to forgive the unforgivable,w e can certainly learn to forgive the petty arguments or misunderstandings we have with our friends, family and colleagues. “To forgive is to set a prisoner free only to discover that the prisoner was you.” -Lewis B.
