Let's Deal with This

Hopefully it's not too late to wish everyone a Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri Maaf Zahir dan Batin. This is the time when we ask for forgiveness from the elders for all our wrongdoings in life and for us to go back to the fitrah. A clean slate. 

Coming back to the topic. F & F. Forgive and Forget. 

I think this is an appropriate time to apologize to everyone, regardless whether u know them or not, about all the things u've done in the past. U never know if u'll be given a chance to do so in the future. 

As I grow up, I learn that in life, ada terms forgive and forget ni. From what I heard, women can easily forgive but they won't forget whereas men can forget but they won't forgive. Tak tahu lah betul ke idok apa yg aku dengar ni kan. 

But for me, personally, I do forgive and forget. But the forgetting part, it's gonna take awhile la kot. Sometimes the memories are still lingering somewhere. Kalau lah ada delete button kan? Tapi bagus jugak bila dapat refresh otak dgn old memories ni, so that u learn from ur previous experience and not repeating the same mistakes. 

Forgive. That's a big word kan? Tak ramai yg boleh forgive ni. Tak tahu lah kenapa. So bila kita tak dapat nk forgive, kita akan ada perasaan dendam dlm hati. Iri hati. Busuk hati. Bila kita dah berperasaan camtu, mmg bahaya lah kan. So cemana nk jadi org yg forgiving ni? Yang penting, for me, ikhlaskan niat nk mintak maaf tu. Insya Allah bila niat kita ikhlas, orang tu akan memaafkan kita. And nak jadi org yg forgiving ni, kita kena buka hati kita utk menerima permohonan maaf orang lain. We need that kesedaran yg people make mistakes, regardless of their age. 

There's a tweet that I RTed few days back. It says, "Meminta maaf tak menjadikan kita hina, memberi maaf tak menjadikan kita bangga, tapi saling memaafkan yg menjadikan kita mulia". What a great quote. Love this. The tweet was the reason why i wanted to post this anyway. 

Let's do our part about this aite? Tak hina apa pon kan? Diri terasa lebih humble adalah kot. Hehehe

Semoga kita menjadi orang yg lebih baik drpd semalam. Peace!
