Sometimes people make mistakes and that is ok. Sometimes we do something that we didn't realize was wrong. Sometimes this thing is done to us. And then we have to ask ourselves to forgive. It doesn't mean that what happened was right or ok. But it means that we don't hold it against the one who made the mistake.
Somebody once said this to me, and I am still trying to learn it. Being in Japan, I often experience the space between cultures and languages where mistakes seem to flourish. I have opportunity to be a part of them and to receive them and to observe them. I have the opportunity to practicing forgiving them. I think it is one of the many lessons I am able to practice here.
