Act of forgiveness

Writing about something serious today because I thought of this incident that happened years ago. The incident brought me tears whenever I think of it. It happened in early nineties while I was still working as a junior technician in my previous company and I fall in love with my supervisor who was a very charming man even though he was married. He was exactly the kind of man I dreamed of and somehow we were mutually attracted. Being young and willful, I did all kinds of things to attract his attention. In the end, one wrong move led to some repercussions. Soon there were rumours going around in the office.

You know, there is a Chinese say, 'the paper cannot wrap the fires', his wife soon got to know of the story and there was a storm between my family and theirs. It got so bad that his wife's mother asked her for a divorce. But amazingly, she told me she was sad but she actually forgave me and her husband. I did not really understand the meaning of that forgiving act it was years later.

Even Marie Callas said forgiveness is the ultimate remedy that leads to the full and unreserved acceptance of the energy of Love and its free circulation. It allows energies of the universe to flow freely within the person who forgives and it builds up the person's spiritual treasures.

What comes around will come around. I suffered many emotional obstacles in the later years and that barren state of my emotional life is my retribution for the wrongdoing. It is karma at work.
