There is a great cancer working at the integrity of our society. It gets in the way of our efficiency nd hampers our success.it robs us of the promotions we seek and the prestigue we desire. The great tragedy is that none of us are immune to it automatically. Each of us must work to overcome it. This malignancy is the lack of the ability to forgive. When someone wrongs us we make mental notes to remember what was done or we think of ways to get back at them. someone gets the promotion we wanted so badly and resentment toward that person begins to build. Our spouse makes a mistake or does something offensive to us and we see what we can do to get even or at least make sure they never forget the hurt they caused us. When we keep score of wrongs committed against us, we reveal a lack of maturity. Theodore roosevelt once said, the most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people. those who do not forgive are persons who have not yet learned this truth and they are usually unsuccessful people. If you wish to improve this area of your life, here are somethings that should help. First, practice forgiving, 2nd, think good thoughts of those persons... It is difficult to have hostile feelings toward one in whom you see good. Finally,let people know through your actions that you are one who can forgive and forget. This will gain respect for you. Remember this: committing an injury puts you below your enemy; taking revenge only makes you even with him, but forgiving him sets you above.
