To Forgive or Not to Forgive....

Forgiveness is a difficult action of overcoming the feeling of bitterness or revenge for the person who has done some sort of wrong actions towards another. The very nature of a human is to become angry and feel bitterness or irritation towards those who have hurt, damaged, or did some harm to another person in any certain way.  Some people may even think that forgiveness encourages the wrongdoer to perform these bad actions repeatedly without consequence. For example, if a friend “accidentally” forgets to finish their part of a group project.

In this case, every member of the group can be punished and forgiveness may not be an option let alone exist in ones mind. I believe that forgiveness is very important in any sort of relationship. Showing this person forgiveness may encourage the student and indicate that something in their work habits may need to change. Not showing forgiveness or even understanding may discourage and disappoint the student. As we all know everyone makes mistakes some point in time, we need to learn somehow.

Love An Animal

         I believe that love and companionship are very important in the human experience. I believe this because I trust that animals can also provide us humans with these feelings. It is just as important, if not more, to relate with animals as it is with humans. As we all know animals cannot talk with humans, therefore it is safe to tell them whatever one wishes. They have the ability to provide a sense of security and trust.

         Animals are also probably the best friends a person can find. When school is over and no one is outside to hang out with, that is an animals cue. They have so much energy to do whatever one wishes from running, to playing to just sitting around.

Last but not least, and my favorite part, is that they are good listeners. Many animals will just sit on a lap or even just next to his owner and listen to every word said. Bad days for a human can be the best days for animals. They can just sit around listening to ones voice and receiving the love and attention that they crave. From stories to secrets even to what someone had for lunch, they are there to listen.

Rejection

Rejection, I believe, plays a big role in ones life while growing up. Everyone has gone through some sort of rejection or isolation some point in his or her lives. This could have taken place anywhere from at school to at home. For example a student at school, who has decided to take the initiative to try and make new friends, spots a group of kids at a lunch table. She walks over and asks if she can sit down. While the kids all say “Sure”, as she sits down they all get up and walk away. This kind of rejection may hurt the little girl emotionally. Feeling isolated from the rest of the school may damage someone inside. Not only will her feelings be hurt, but maybe also her reputation. Seeing the group of students reject the little girl may give other students the wrong idea. Thus, leaving the little girl fending for herself.
