Forgiveness, Pardon and Expectation

Forgiveness 1

According to  Oxford English Dictionary  forgiveness is  'to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt'.

The President can forgive the prisoners by granting pardon to set him free. The President just did that for a cancer stricken inmate. His first. 

Noy grants executive clemency to cancer-stricken convictBy Delon Porcalla The Philippine Star Updated July 28, 2011 12:00 AM 4 comments to this post

MANILA, Philippines - A convict who is suffering from cancer is the first to be granted executive clemency under the Aquino administration. The President yesterday said he authorized the release of the convict from the New Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa City upon the recommendation of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and the Bureau of Pardons and Parole. The inmate’s cancer worsened from stage two to stage four, according to Aquino.

Pero ano ito?

Forgiveness 2

Forgiveness is also letting go of the grudges and bitterness. 

On a personal note, the kids of the individual who caused me a lot of distress and depression sent me handmade cards and a letter.

It left me a whole sleepless night deciding if I am going to respond. I am trying to forget the years when I was consumed by anger that gave me physical and mental consequences  contributing to the pain of the ill health. I have accepted the fact that he did not regard me as part of his life anymore. 

But children are not to be blamed by the sins of the fathers. So I decided to write a note and sent thank you cards. I wished they have left me in peace. Now I will be full of expectations again.

Forgiveness  is that character of  a strong person. Maybe I am not really that strong.
