This is my interpretation of understanding and forgiveness, perhaps what one needs to learn in this sad world of ours. I may have forgotten some aspects... I hope not.. but if we all tried just a little, what a difference I know it would make. Keep smiling God bless.

The Art of Understanding
and Forgiveness
Learn to put the past behind you,
all the past does is burden you.
and make you ill.
Learn the art of forgiving,
for in forgiveness,
you are better able to love,
being better able to love,
you are better prepared to forget the hurts,
and hence better able to be less judgemental,
more willing to reciprocate love openly.
Learn the art of acknowledging the fact that we all err.
Be sensitive to others needs,
as you would want yours tended.
Learn the art of accepting gracefully,
when love and friendship,
has been given by a loving warm and open heart.
Learn to trust,
as others have shown you trust.
But most of all,
Learn, that love knows no limits !
