The Gift of Forgetfulness
Huh??! Did you read correctly?? Forgetfulness is a gift?!
Pst Kong preached about the things we need to let go of in Year 2005 so that we can start 2006 on the right footing. And yea, I agree. If only we can forget more easily, we would be happier people. Forget what, you ask??
Forget the old pains, the old defeats, the old trespasses people have against you... Forget those past that make you feel lousy and like a loser... forget the sins people committed against you..
It is so hard for people to forget. Pst Kong said that the only way we can forgive is to forget about it. Truly, if we don't hold on to grudges or bad things that people did to us, we can surely be happier people. We all have this cynical thinking that if we never forget what bad things someone did to us, we will hurt them badly. The truth is, we hurt no one but ourselves. Forgiveness can only be given by the strong.
We sometimes like to think that if we can remember forever the wrong things we do, we will never commit the same mistakes again. Of course, I don't mean we commit mistakes, then forget about it, then commit it again & again. No. It just means that we don't hold on to baggages that will hinder us from taking flight in 2006. It means that we will not allow past failures to stop us from dreaming about big victories in this coming year. It means that we will not let people who have hurt us stumble us such that we just go through 2006 nursing old wounds and broken dreams.
Let go of things that people have done against you. You will find a new freedom. You will find a new liberation like never before. You will experience a joy. A new joy.
Forgive & forget. It's the best gift you can give to someone and to yourself.
