Forgiveness is a powerful thing! Forgive first is a mantra that would make life so much more peaceful... That is one loaded 3 line poem! Well done!

Hi Gershon, Sooner or later we all have to apologize because we are human and make mistakes. The problem is we often take too long to do so:-) Alexis

Oh, exactly. We wrestle with what we mislabel our conscience---when it's really our pride, (in the negative sense of that word). Thank you for your insightful comment, Alexis. Best wishes, Gershon

Being in love is never having to say your sorry. I'm not sure where that comes from. Have a great day my friend.

David, that one I know (for a change): It's from the movie "Love Story," based on the book of the same name (I think) by Erich Segal. I believe that the movie came out in about 1971. It was all the rage at the time, but flopped miserably after setting box office records at the outset, if memory serves me correctly...Thanks so much for viewing and commenting, David. Best wishes, Gershon
