To err is human. To forgive, divine....

....We cannot argue with this old saying. Or can we? Can we not take issue with the word 'err'? It is such a little word. It looks like an abbreviation for the word 'error'. Yet an error sounds like a small thing, a minor mistake, a slip of the tongue or the pen. Why would anyone ever resist the idea of forgiving such a thing?


But there is just as strong a case for extending forgiveness, even to those whose transgressions are far, far, greater.





The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.    

 (Mahatma Gandhi)
