When I was searching for Mahatma Gandhi’s quotes for my
essay writing, I was struck by one of his quotes. It stuck in my mind, which
is, “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”
And I started wondering, why forgiveness is so hard for human being?
I think it’s directly related to the one’s Ego. It is not
easy to give up Ego and move on. It needs big heart, courage, and strength. If
we forgive someone, it doesn’t mean we are weak or we gave up. It means we
respect our relationship more than our Ego, the other person is more important that our Ego. If we will put one step forward
the other person will obviously support us and will put his one step ahead too
and that will close the gap between us. But this one step is the one, which
gives us trouble, which needs courage and strength. After that one-step
everything becomes so easy and the world becomes a better place to live.
I
think that is why Mahatma Gandhi said that…..it is the attribute of the strong.....weak can never forgive…
So what do you think, who you are, weak or the strong?

Very, very interesting blog post. To answer your question, I am generally a forgiving person, but there are some people I can never forgive. So, in those instances, according to Gandhi, I am weak.
