Ashwini John's Inspiring speech : Importance of Forgiveness

Introduction:

I was rejected from a school level quiz competition because I was in the topper of my class. I just have two choices for you . This was the choices my mother gave me . She told me , if you want to come out of the situation , you have two choices .

One , either you stay , you continue to feel hurt , anger and feeling depressed , or you come out of the situation , stop being the victim of what they did . I gained my confidence back , and I want you to empower yourself . We think we do not get an apology .  We say , hidden . Forgive me , we say he didn't apologize . She did not apologize if a man says , sorry when he knows that it is his mistake . Yes , I'm wrong . Then his wife , he's honest. Well , if a man says he's sorry when he knows that he is right . 

  
The opposite person is wrong , then unfortunately , he's a husband . So you know , when I let this joke , what I felt was that we always expect people to come and ask , sorry to us . My dear friends , it is our memory . 

Not , there's people have different variations . forgiveness . People have very different versions for forgiveness . If forgiveness was dependent on the apology of a particular person , then believe me , by now , the whole world would have been burnt. It is because they lack the ingredient of forgiveness within them . 

You know , I read a story once which had a yogi who saved a scorpion from a flooding river scorpion . So the yogi sees the scorpion is about to die , and he goes on to save the scorpion . As usual , the scorpion bites him . 

The yogi goes on again , the scorpion bites again . And this happens almost three times a passing by devotee looks at the yogi and ask , what are you doing ? Why are you saving the copy ? And it is biting , you just leave it.

The yogi reply was very different . He said , when this little scorpion cannot let go , his character of biting me , how can I let go , my character of helping him? The yogi was able to practice forgiveness in his life , only because he contains the ingredient of forgiveness within him . And that my friends is love and compassion . We cannot love unless and until we forgive a person , we do not understand the difference between weakness and wickedness. If a person hurts you , he or she might be weak . My friends , not wicked . 

We are not strong people . We all are weakness . We all are capable of hurting someone . I know that very clearly when we are so eager to receive forgiveness by someone , why are we not willing to give forgiveness to someone ? That is my question , my friends , when I tell you to forgive you must forgive, you must forgive . 

You might ask me , then , what do we do to those people who hurt it ? A woman , what do we do to those people who harass the girl ? What do we do to those , all those people who care thousands of men , should I forgive them when we complain to the police ? Is that forgiveness ? No , that is not forgiveness .

We have a wrong , a misconception about forgiveness . Actually , when you complain to the police , you're complaining about that person's particular. Not not about that person. When the policy does something favorable to you , it is like applying medicine on your wound . 

The wound won't disappear my friends unless and until you forgive , the wound is still there . I believe there are three major powers you gain when you forgive someone , and the main power is that you lead a happy and healthy life . 

Yes , it is about you . When you forgive someone , you are healing yourself , your mind , your body and your soul . When you forgive someone , you come out of the emotions of anger , depression and sadness . and. I Ashley , john. 

In Conclusion, as a youngster , as a human being , I just have a very small advice towards all of you .I know we all have been hurt in life . We all have grudges in life . Ok , forgive them , just forgive them. Not because they deserve your forgiveness , not because you ask for their forgiveness , but you cannot move on without forgiving a person. It shows your maturity level. Your forgiveness spoke about you , not about them. Forgiveness is your gift towards yourself from yourself . You just have to search within.
