Conventionally, the subject of forgiveness dawns on each and everyone of us, only when we feel someone or something has severely injured our ego, expectations, emotions or trust.
We can’t deny the “health-service” we render to our heart and mind, if we finally decide to “swallow the pill of forgiveness”.
The most important thing to forgive on this earth is “First Impression”.
Impression is of two dimensions – observation with the physical eyes and the experience (encounter) imparted on us by things, events and people. However, both dimensions are intertwined and usually form the conclusive decision (judgement) or perception we have about whatever or whoever we experience and observe.
Normally, the eye is naturally supposed to be a slave to the mind and heart. All three (mind, heart and eye) are used to perceive (see), but the eye must be dependent on the mind (reasoning and analysis) and heart (purpose) in order to function effectively. The eye, when left alone to see, most often than not, results in catastrophic regrets and misinformed decisions about life. Everything we see in life is deception. Why? Because what we see is always fleeting. You see a tiny moth today, and tommorow it transforms into a butterfly. That is why the eyes are so weak in drawing conclusions as to what they see, hence we can’t rely on them
We are bound to head towards destruction in life or lose life-time opportunities if we refuse to perceive with the mind and heart.
As we come across people, they usually create intensive Impression on us, perhaps due to how they appear, how they treat us, or their general demeanor.
We must always remember, as we have appreciated, that whatever the eye sees might not be real; a deception. So instead of outright judgement of what we see or experience of others or situations, we must forgive them After the instant forgiveness, then we open our minds and heart, as it were, to see the reasons or the spirit behind what you see or experience and why they happen.
So many fictions and even real life experiences have taught us that many people lost gold, because they judged what they see; they couldn’t forgive first impression.
We come across people in every facet of life and it is prudent we always forgive whatever impression we make of them and give them a second chance. You would often realize that afterall, they are not what you perceived them to be, and this can be really rewarding.
Instead of judging people with what we see and experience of them as we meet them, let us always remember that whatever the eyes see or experience is fleeting, and that we would do well to see with reasoning (mind) and purpose (heart) in order to understand the spirit behind whatever or whoever we encounter. “By this, gold is always found at hopeless places”.
