I guess since I came back Singapore, there hasn't really been time for reflection. Most of the time I'm worrying about where to eat, who to eat with, what to do next, and my thesis.

Anyways, heard this from church a couple of weeks back. It actually helps to remind myself what forgiveness is when I'm not up for it. As the saying goes, "to err is human, to forgive is divine"

The ten commandments of forgiveness
1. Forgiveness is not easy. It simply takes time
2. Forgiveness is not forgetting. It doesn't mean a change in memory, it is a change of heart
3. Forgiveness does not overlook evil. It is not avoidance, it is not denial
4. Forgiveness is not indifference
5. Forgiveness is not the same thing as approval
6. Forgiveness is based on recognizing and admitting that people are always bigger than their faults
7. Forgiveness is willing to allow a person who has offended us to start over again
8. Forgiveness recognizes the humanity of the person who has offended us and that we are afterall, only human
9. Forgiveness surrenders the right to get even
10. Forgiveness means wishing the person who has offended us the best
