Of all our powers that lie wasted….
Good morning friends….
Of all the powers God gave mankind,
We use power to forgive the least.
He gave us a chance to leave unpleasantness behind,
And say goodbye to becoming a beast.
When we forgive we cleanse our soul,
And brighten the remaining days of life.
Life and us get back to being in control,
We simply cut out useless strife.
Forgiving always makes one stronger,
A pall of gloom gets lifted.
One decides not to suffer any longer,
And become extraordinarily gifted.
Anyway you look at it, it’s a powerful tool,
But surprisingly not many want to try.
It is like giving wings to a fool,
But he doesn’t want to fly.
Forgive your detractors and pray for them,
And lo, you find your wish is granted.
To the feeling of revenge don’t ever succumb,
It harms you more and is totally unwanted.
….the least used is power to forgive.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
