Forgiveness Has Three Stages. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Forgiveness completes in three stages:
Forgiveness; Reconciliation; Healing;

Forgiveness is accepting offenders
As a damage control exercise.

Reconciliation is rebuilding
Relationship that was strained or broken.

Healing is the resultant harmony
Total physically and mentally.

Human beings are relational beings.
To be human is to be inter-human.

It is human to beg for one’s pardon;
It is more human to offer pardon.
