Thought of the Day - To err is human but to forgive is divine

They say that, 'To err is human but to forgive is divine.' They say that for a reason. It is because it is true. But there is something about the phrasing of that old adage that is a little misleading. 'To err' suggests 'to make a small mistake.' That, by implication, puts 'to forgive' into a smaller category. We can all be gracious enough to overlook a minor misdemeanour but actually, the greater and more unacceptable the transgression, the more of a divine experience we can have when we allow ourselves to forgive it.
