The power of Forgiveness

There is a saying, "A good advice is beyond price". Back during my childhood era in my school "Holy Cross", I remember a 'Father', while was lecturing on some topic, advised the students that "all of us should learn to forgive people when the someone commit mistakes, if not our hearts would turn into as hard as a rock". He added saying an unforgiving heart would only become harder and harder affecting our mental and physical health but if we inculcate the habit of forgiving others, then our heart will become softer and would relieve us off all mental worries and makes us healthy.
Thanks Fr. whoever you were! After so many years, at least today, I actually forgave a person in a way it helped me not to lose my sanity. The reward for me having had been nice, honest, gentle and trusting somebody was that to end up being fooled by that very same somebody. I felt sooo dumb like I never felt this way before. All happened as I watched though I took no step to prevent any situation I thought I was most likely gonna end up in. I trusted foolishly. I trusted this world. But i was fooled. But I learned it probably for the nth time, while that may be ridiculous, I still have learnt.

But How could I erase the whole incident off my memory? I am not a machine to press Control and Delete! I could not. My blood was up. Punched the air uncontrollably as I was walking in traffic while people were watchin my strange behavior. I was murmuring to myself and would suddenly yell with harsh words since i was frustrated about my proneness to be deceived by such cunning people. I went to a place where none can see me and tried as best as I could and screamed out loud and even tried to cry ( the goddamn thing never happened and It never happens.<Flashback starts> I had become numb ever since I came to realize that it was the construction of the real I was in love with and the real was nothing but a completle void, meaning nothing near to what my construction was. My tears dried out. It was nearly 5 years from now<Flashback ends>). I was going insane a little by little
At last, those golden words started ringing in my hears like the chirping of the birds. I wasted no seconds to seize the opportunity. I forgave the person who cheated me. Yes, I forgave the person from the bottom of my heart and as soon as I did it, I felt elevated so high above that small, little, person who can do no harm but cheat other people and suck on their blood and live like Mosquitoes. what matters now is -My mind is definitely free now. And I have realized the power of forgiveness after all!
