Week 10: Forgiveness - Coursework Example

Forgiveness Every face has a story behind it. Every individual has done something or the other, intentionally or unintentionally, they regret doing. The feeling of regret is a reminder of humans still capable of being humans. No matter how cold blooded we become if we accept a wrongdoing and feel bad about it, in my opinion, is the best form of offering.As a kid, I was very reckless and when I ponder over things I did, a ping of regret and at times, guilt, wrings my heart, but as Katherine Hepburn quoted we all have regrets over the dumb things we did and if we don’t, that is what actually makes us dumb (Katherine).

Back in time, we used to have neon light bulbs in our area to light up the streets at night. I, being the notorious kind used to take them down just for the sake of fun. It never occurred to me that such an action might lead to loss for people using that street at night. One day, a passerby stumbled on a stone, lost his balance and fell on the road and ended up with five stitches on his forehead. That’s when I realized how great an ordeal my doing was. I never got to meet that person, but now when I think about it, it hurts me.

To amend what I did, I get light bulbs installed on any dark street I see, hoping it would do good to other people.
