All people need to have others they can share love with. They may share their love with friends, family or spouses and such. Our relationships with others lift us up when we are down. They spread joy into our very center. Love is the ultimate healer of all emotional distress.
It is my opinion that forgiveness is the ultimate expression of love. We have all been forgiven and also forgiven others. It is challenges that require forgiveness that test emotional bonds. The bonds that weather the storms of betrayal are the ones that will most serve us. These relationships can not be taken for granted.
We will know many people in our lives and touch some on an intimate level. Those whom we become very close to trust us to treat them as we would have them treat ourselves. We can mistakenly forget the responsibility that comes with such a bond. At times we hurt those who we hold most dear. We all have done this in our lives and so we must remember this and learn the lesson of forgiveness. One day we will have to extend this gesture to someone else who is not so different then ourselves.
