Forgiveness vs. Vengeance

             What is forgiveness? To me forgiveness is somethning many people never learn in their lives. Forgiveness is to love someone in spitof all their short comings. We as humans, must somehow learn the art of forgiveness, if we are ever going to be truly happy in life. For me, as a christain,"Why is forgiveness so hard?" Because, not only as christains it is our human nature to seek the evil act of revenge when someone hurts us. You say, "What is Vengence?"
             Vegence is the act of causing harm or hurt to someone, who has caused hurt or harm to us. Many times we as humans choice to hate someone instead of loving them. In the bible it says to turn the other cheek, but for many of us that is always the hardest thing to do. As the Bible tell us on many ocassions, "Vengence is mine saith the lord."
             As humans we must learn the the true meaning of forgiveness, and in doing so we will have no need for vengence. Many times vengence occurs because of the hate and lack of forgiveness that we hold again others. I as well as many people in todays world, struggle with forgiveness and the need for vegence. I want to be able to forgive those we have hurt me or wronged me in some way. But, somewhere in my mind I seem to find that a daily struggle and so hard to do. I have learned the hard way in life that vengence only causes you more pain and hurt, as well as the person you are seeking revenge against. Seems like no matter how hard I try to forgive a person and say I have, soemwhere down the road that vengence always seems to wanna sneak back into my mind, especially if the person has wronged me again. Then you have a problem all over again. We as humans have not learned the lesson of loving someone in spite of their shortcomings. It is much easier to hate someone than it is to love someone. Why does it seems so much easier to hate someone, when it says in the Bible, "To love thy neighbor as thyself?" Sometimes I know it is hard to love...
