The power of forgiveness

Jumping from one link to the other I landed up at a site called — The forgiveness Project. It was simple, clean, clutter free, ofcourse I don’t expect anything less from Jon Hicks… but the power and the magnitude of the untold stories didn’t quite hit me till I headed over to the stories section.

I didn’t read the first story, and then looked over the thumbnail images on the left side of the page and clicked one at random — reading about the mishap of Chernobyl on 17-year-old Sasha Khodosok. And then onto another story, this time Camilla Carr & Jon James devastating story… it left me feeling sick, hollow in the stomach, void of any emotion and thought! Yet they found in them the courage to forgive the wrong doers. It takes tremendous courage to answer such a call it takes tremendous amount of devotion to forgive someone who has left scars in your life. How admirable to be able to come out this far and share with the rest of the world. I wish and hope no one ever has to go through life harrowing experiences like these. These stories brought tears to my eyes, it made me think again how graceful and abundant my life is.
