What is Forgiveness, why is it so important that we forgive one another in this world? Do we even have to forgive?

Some tough questions for anyone that has been hurt or going through pain at this time. The reason forgiveness is so tough is simply because it demands action from us, it is not something you can sit back on and let happen, or something you let others do for you, it is something you must do yourself. Forgiveness comes in different levels based on the level someone has hurt you and when someone has really hurt you, it demands a bigger response from you.

More people do good than bad. Is this a fact we know, a lie we tell ourselves or an aspiration of humanity? Since a well known tv presenter sadly committed suicide this month, I have been thinking about her situation and the wider situation of humanity. We will never know exactly what was going on in the presenters mind and why she chose to take that fateful act, there a number of things surrounding her life and most of them tended to appear in the media whether true or not. It gets you thinking of what the media portray, whether it be broadcast on television, radio, newspapers, magazines or online, even social media… there is so much media now and they have such a large voice reaching out into the world.
