My Papa always used to say, be good to others even when they are bad with you. I always argued with him, ‘we should be good with people who are good to us and bad with people who are bad to us’. Times passed and my father died before I can complete my education. I grew more bitter. I started working, met different people from different backgrounds but that bitterness, hollowness was always there. One day I sat down and wondered why I am so sad and lonely from the inside, why I feel so empty, then I remembered my father and his lines do good with others even when they do bad with us. I just started following that and from that day my life changed. I still get angry, I still get irritated, but I do not carry forward any grudge in my heart. I understood the true meaning of my Papa’s lines by doing good to people or forgiving who have hurt you, you are actually healing yourself, you are keeping yourself away from bitterness, from anguish and above all you can sleep peacefully. You are a free and happy soul
