Forgiveness//
Forgiveness is a virtue,
That you may try to inculcate.
It will make you neither famous nor rich,
But it surely will give you some mental peace.
Life is cruel that I won't deny.
And you will meet lot of brutes and fools.
Some are victims themselves,
But most of them have twisted roots.
Some fools do regret over their actions,
Albeit later.
As for the brutes,
They hurt you regularly for sadistic pleasure.
But you must move on,
Though you may have been wronged.
You may be tempted to seek revenge,
Scream and punch,
Or plan an elaborate plot of vengeance.
But is it really worthwhile?
Sadly nothing will change for sure.
For fools lack the ability to reason.
As for the brutes, you will just add fuel to their inferno.
Forgiveness is a virtue,
Possessed by only the strongest of all.
But revenge makes you blind,
Makes you lose the purpose of your life.
Revenge is wild and it may taste sweet.
But it destroys your inner peace.
Forgiveness on the other hand is hard,
It demands lots of practice.
Practice of letting go your primal fears.
Practice of letting go your instant desires.
Fruits of forgiveness are often invisible.
But forgiveness is a virtue,
And it surely will give you inner peace.
