Forgiveness, Harmlessness, Acceptance

Forgiveness is the key to living peacefully with other people. Those who cannot forgive others will never be at peace within themselves, because holding onto injustice and holding a grudge will always create unhappiness within the individual as well as within the relationship. When individuals cannot forgive each other and learn to accept each other as human beings with strengths and weakness then how will it ever be possible to have peace within the nations of the world. The key is to realize that each person is a unique individual soul with their own path to fulfill in life. No two paths are the same, and no one should try to completely define the path for another soul. However, it must also be understood that all souls come from a common source and therefore have common roots at the soul level, regardless of the obvious differences at the physical level. When you can accept that all souls are related to you and are similar in the essence of their nature, then you can love them as you would a family member while accepting all of their characteristics as part of their unique personality. This is the key to true forgiveness and lasting peace and harmony. You accept everyone as an eternally loving and loveable soul and accept with a sense of wonder and amazement the incredible variety of physical and personality attributes that make up their human form. In this way even those things in others that you judge to be against your values you can accept with a sense of joy as to the unique identity of each individual. Help them to see their own reality as a loving spirit soul, but never judge them or hesitate to forgive them for their all-to-human failings.
