ForGiveNESS



FORGIVENESS. its very subjective. this process happens any time, in any part of the
world and to anyone. according to mr. Wiki Pedia, forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake.
in my understanding, i would say forgiveness occurs whenever anyone ask for apology from another party due to any mistake or offense he/she did and that other party eventually forgives that person.
Still, often happen situations where we can actually forgive, but we find it very hard to forget what the other person has done to us because it hurts so much. that is why, i have always agree that the great one in this forgiveness process is the one who can forgive and forget at the same time.
However we should also look up to the people who are dare and brave enough to admit their mistake and ask for forgiveness. it is because not much people are willing to do that because we human beings have always been infected by a virus called EGO that often stops us from admitting our mistake.
We should also have a high respect for the one who is willing to forgives sincerely with all their heart because it shows that they have a noble and big heart.
regardless the action we tak
e no matter asking for forgiveness or hope to be forgiven by someone.. in the end, its we ourselves will be questioned about the action that we took today. to forgive but cannot forget means cannot let go. And so can lead to bearing a grudge towards someone who already seek for forgiveness.
that is also the reason when it comes to forgiveness issue, the most important part is that we have a sincere intention to ask for forgiveness and to forgive, because forgiveness is not something we do for others. we do it for ourselves, its for us to get well and to move on. And I have to say that I agree with Catherine Ponder's thought about forgiveness which is

"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.”

My secondary tutor once told me ' to make a mistake is human, but to forgive is divine. Which means Everybody makes mistakes, so that's normal and expected. But the people who forgive the one who made the mistake are doing something extraordinary, as not anyone will forgive easily. So, we should never hesitate in making this forgiveness process a success because then only the world will be a better place to live.

MarooN 5!


Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe, Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe.

it was like 7-8 years ago that when i woke up at 9am during end of year school holiday, i will be hearing these lines from the song 'harder to breathe' on the speaker of our sony music player at home. This song was sang by
one of the famous rock band from Los Angeles , called Maroon 5. others might recognize them from one their famous song 'this love' but i have known them since before and thanks to my third elder brother for this. he put the song on our stereo almost every morning till my mom can hum on the song while cooking! i mean its a rock song! ahaha. And I can consider Maroon 5 as one of my favourite band besides nickelback, hinder and not to forget the oldies like the beatles.
so why do they call themselves as 'Maroon 5'? well, i have not done any serious or formal research on this matter yet. But of course I do have few personal opinion about that. My first opinion will be, they chose the name maroon because majority of the team member likes maroon colour. My second opinion will be, they chose this name because they want to come out with something that makes people wonder like what I'm doing now. Its a very good marketing strategy I must say because when people wonder about something, they will tend to find out and do research which will actually lead them to listening the songs of the band's.
And they will ended up liking it because the band produce good musics. However there are some people who like to criticize and look down towards this band's musics. But it makes no difference to me, to other fans and to Maroon 5 themselves because no matter what the critics says, the number of fans and the award winning will always increase whenever they produce new album or new song. This shows how good they are in music and Adam Levine, your voice is so unique that until now I still could not find any other singer that sounds even a little bit like yours. Thats what makes Maroon 5 special to me!
