Forgiveness is a virtue but defining forgiveness is a very indistinct
perception among people. I will never forget that time when my mother and I argued and I offended her with my extreme language and tone of voice. I was angry at her that I even slammed my room door shut and I was crying in my room as I realized my mistakes. I could not get out of my room the next day because I was so embarrassed about what I said to her, but before I even got out of bed, she knocked on my door and said I should wake up so I would not be late for school. She was still there when I opened the door, and she hugged me. She explained that whenever they scold us, it is just their way of teaching us and correcting our wrongdoings so we should not get mad and we should not talk back to them. I just cried and I realized what I did was wrong. From that experience, I learned that the gift of forgiveness has been engraved in every parent and they will never think in terms of non-forgiveness. My mother had forgiven me before I even asked for her forgiveness. As a child, we make light or heavy mistakes, behave badly, and do things we regret, but learning about forgiveness from our parents and being forgiven is really for our benefit. It allows us to have a good relationship with people, fill our hearts with only positivities and hold onto only the good memories.
