The Easiest Way to Forgive is to Forget

The Easiest Way to Forgive is to Forget

     They say that there are many ways to forgive people. Some take revenge because the pain is too deep to be forgiven easily. Some retain the sins in their minds 'til they die. But for me, the easiest way is to forget. To forget the sins because to tell the truth, you can't really change the past and you can't go back in time. So, just forget and you will soon learn to forgive.

     Some of us might have already experienced this, even me. I experienced this even when I was an elementary student, some of my classmates would say something that would really hurt my feelings. On the first week I always remember it and I just feel angry but I can't do anything about it, because I know if I try to make revenge, it would just make the situation worse. So I realized that if they won't apologize to me, I will just forget that they did something wrong to me, and sometimes I would just pray to God that help me become stronger in this situations and help to forgive people better. 

     From then on, I always think of "It's best that I just forget what they did, it's the easiest way to forgive them.", and I became a better man and a better person because of these words of wisdom.

Studies or Sports?

Studies or Sports?

     Sometimes, something would just come in my mind that what if I were to choose from being an academically advanced student but not that sporty, or being sporty but not academically advanced. I just don't answer it in my mind and do something else. But this time, I would like to choose, and for me, I want to be someone who is balanced being an academically advanced student, at the same time, a sporty person.

     I try to study hard and I try to understand lessons which I really need to study. But studying does not mean you will forget being an active person in terms of sports. This last Intrams of our school, I proved that I can be good at some of my lessons and good at some of our sports. I proved that I can balance my time in studying and in being a sporty person. I didn't want to be a person to be bullied around and called a "wimp" if I focus only on my studies, and I don't want to be called someone who is good at sports but has nothing to say when it comes on academics. So I proved that I can balance this two things in my life.
