Forgiveness is a very beautiful trait for everyone to use.
This trait is a character that cannot be trained just like that, because it requires great generosity to forgive enemies or even friends.
Especially when a friend is guilty, we are required to apologize so that he does not become our enemy.
Likewise with the enemy that we must forgive so that they become our new friends.

Forgiveness is a beautiful trait that cannot be practiced by all.
This is one character that is easier to preach than practice.

What brings more joy in life than having an endless list of friends?
Some say that forgiveness is the sweetest revenge.
