The document discusses the benefits of forgiveness over revenge or reaction. It argues that forgiveness is the better option as it saves time and avoids creating further problems, while reaction and revenge tend to make problems worse without positive results. Forgiveness maintains a positive attitude and thinking, whereas revenge breeds negativity. While some argue tit-for-tat is needed, studies show forgiveness activates conscience in others rather than encouraging more negativity. A culture of forgiveness helps build a better, more cooperative society compared to one of revenge and mistrust. Overall, the document advocates adopting a positive attitude and choosing forgiveness over reaction.

2. Choice is yours Every day in our life we have some bad experiences, big or small. One has two options either ignore or react. The first option is a form of forgiveness, while the other is engagement and in some cases even revenge.

3. Which is the better option? Forgiveness is the better option for it is based on a proven formula “Save Yourself” Forgiveness saves you from distraction, it saves your time, and it saves you from creating more problems. Forgiveness could amount to an instant solution to the problem

4. Reaction In contrast reaction and emotional revenge is turning the bad into worse, for revenge tends to worsen the problem. If forgiveness is buying time revenge is just wasting time without hope for any positive results.

5. Do not give in to negative thinking People generally tend to give in to negative thinking but that is unwise. It you have a bad experience donot think of the party who you feel has wronged you. Think about and adopt a course that is better for you.

6. Torn between two choices All the time in our life we are torn between two choices – anti other thinking and pro self thinking. Anti other thinking makes you descend to the lowest level where as pro self thinking elevates you to the higher plane of consciousness If forgiveness is full stop revenge is full of commas. Forgiveness maintains your positive thinking uninterruptedly, while revenge creates negativity. Negativity creates all kinds of undesirable behaviour, in terms of both thought and action.

7. Does forgiveness always work? Some would say that sometime it is better to adopt tit for tat policy. But tit for tat is not a real solution. It does not end the problem it only leads to a chain reactions. A reactionary attitudes aggravates the problem.

8. Wouldn’t forgiveness encourages other to take further negative steps? No it is against the law of nature Psychological studies confirm that human being are born with two different faculties --The Ego & The Conscience If you follow the path of vindication it fans the ego of other party If you follow the path of forgiveness it will activate the conscience of the other person And it is a fact that conscience always play a positive role in controversial matters.

9. Culture of forgiveness Vs revenge Forgiveness Helps in building a better society, where positive value flourishes, where spirit of cooperation prevails, where desperate group come together and form peaceful society. Revenge on other hand creates an atmosphere of mistrust , in which every one takes other as rival. The revenge culture rules out the growth of healthy society.

10. Every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it. The only thing that is truly yours that no one can control or take from you Is your attitude. So if you can take care of that , everything else in life becomes much easier.

11. ATTITUDE Attitude, to me, is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do,than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company...a church...a home. We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…

12. To err is human To forgive is divine
