There is lot of darkness,disharmony and pain in our world today,a lot of injustice and violence also.And what we must realise is that,we are the reason behind all this.Our outer world is created by the fact that many of us live with broken inner lives.I therefore believe that if we wish to move forward and create a better world,we need a lot of healing of our past.And here,a very integral part of this process of letting go of the past,lies in our ability to forgive.Indeed, we must never underestimate just how many conflicts and how much sufferings still persists,because so many of us are so rigid [more]
