I don’t think this thing called forgiveness is a religious
thing, but I believe we all owe it to ourselves to release those we hold
grudges against, in particular our African people, who have not truly forgiven yet
the entirety of the atrocities committed against the African man or latter.
We owe it to ourselves, for if we don’t get past this point,
we can’t love freely, love entirely without holding back. By this we can also free
ourselves of the burden of carrying grudges of our former generations. We need
to go forth, this way, this is ideal, this is the only way we can truly free
ourselves.
Someone said “hurt people hurt others” I see my country and
think, exactly! these things that happen to our women, mothers, daughters and
children, in Southern Africa, these crimes are actually fuelled by a nation
that is, a hurt people, a nation who hasn’t, and can’t go forward because, if
does not know how to go forward, So we kill, rape, abuse substances of all
matter to numb the hurt, this is the only way we know how.
When I say forgive, I’m not suggesting we become, door mats,
forget or subject to your oppressor but I’m saying, liberate your enemy then,
you’ll free yourself, furthermore grow your character so you, we can be beckon
of hope to others.
There is way, a route not taken by many, but we can. Most of
the world’s suffering can be ended by this simple thing. Nkosi Sikelela iAfrica
