:: Forgiven... ::

In the Old Chinese Traditional culture, revenge was the famous retribution when ones kill another. In the teachings of philosophers, one must forgive another because it will cause the person feel good in the higher clouds. But in Christianity, one must forgive another because Christ has forgiven our sins out of love.

I believe people has been hurting us in some areas or others. And even, hurt us to the core. But, the question left with "Are you willing to forgive that person?" There are so many philosophers and religious teachers teach that forgiveness must be given for a higher self enlightenment. But interestingly, it was self. All about self.. But how about the view of Christianity? Do we christian forgive another person because we want to have self enlightenment, only self? Or we Christian want to show forth Christ's love for us, a forgiving spirit, so that he or she may come to know the saving knowledge of Christ and even strengthen the brethrens faith and love?

There are hurtful things in my life which caused by people around me. But I want to forgive them. I want them to hurt me more, so that through this hurting, I want them to experience the love of Christ in me. And I do hope you guys also have this.. Thanks and God bless! :D
