Pardon Day

Pardon Day is a great occasion to throw off the burden of resentment and make peace with people who are dear to you. The need for such a day is obvious, because over time, relationships between people tend to deteriorate, and on September 8, each of us gets a chance to find peace of mind and a sense of happiness.

History

Forgiveness is necessary for the one who unwittingly offended, and for the one who suffered the insult. Many religions are based on this. For example, in Judaism, the ability to ask for forgiveness and forget insults is a pious act. And in Islam, a person gains inner peace only when he throws off the burden of negativity and resentment. Psychologists note that in the case of apologies, it is easier said than done. Many spend a lot of time to prepare mentally and say these important words. But remember that dialogue is always more productive than silence, as silence is not golden in this situation. Being able to apologize is the shortest path to reconciliation.

Interesting Facts
