Thoughts on a Merciful day

Mercy:

To the world, the murderer condemned to die has no mercy. To the murderer, the world has no mercy; and so the long, strong chain of man's inhumanity to man continues. It is the story of man judging his fellow-men and extracting what he thinks is the price to be paid for an action..non-action. There is awalys a price to pay.

Nowadays, it is felt by some people that to show mercy is a sign of weakness in character. Not true. Rather it is a sign of great strength, vision and wisdom. To be merciful is to show accurate understanding of the situations in life which go way beyond the fact and evidences as they are presented visibly.

To be merciful (in any situation, however small or big) indicates an elevated consciousness, so high, that inspite of disparities and overwhelming negative temptations, we can have the strength to say: I understand and forgive. Let's walk on.
