"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
This quote above was said by an inspirational man, probably one of the greatest in the 20th century. Everyone who is reading this post, take some time and think about what this quote is saying and more also who said it and because I am in a giving mood I'll give 3 answer choices.
A) Martin Luther King Jr.
B) Mahatma Gandhi
C) Mother Theresa
Take your pick.
Well by now I hope that you all took the time to think about which one of the three said the quote, if you said A then.... you're wrong. If you said C then.... you're also wrong. The correct answer was B Mahatma Gandhi. So if you said B give yourself a pat on the back.
Now you all must be wondering why the heck I am asking you to think and asking you this question. Well now you'll get your answer. Over the previous week or two I've been reading a biography of Gandhi's; Gandhi: The Man, His People, and the Empire by Rajmohan Gandhi, an yes Rajmohan Gandhi is related to Mahatma Gandhi, his grandson to be exact.
This book goes through an accurate and credible source of Gandhi's life and beliefs. Gandhi was one who did not hate his enemy nor did he use any means of violence against them like other freedom fighters did. The quote above illustrates his idea of non violence and also on how to turn hatred for one into a new found relation with that person. Forgiving is one thing people struggled to do back then and even now, those who are able to do so are able to move on and accomplish great things.
I would recommend a lot of people to go and pick up this book and take the time to read it. This is all I have to say for this blog. Namaste.
