On Forgiveness: What I've Learned from Different Language and Translation
The concept of “forgiveness” in different languages or dialects has been expressed in varied ways through translations. The one from Kham, Western Parbate (a language of Nepal) is no exception and instantly became one of my favourite because it offers a new perspective on “forgiveness” — “to forgive” is translated as “unstring someone”. Thus, to unstring someone means to free ourselves from holding a grudge or having someone strung up in our hearts.
In this Ramadan, the Month of Mercy and Forgiveness, it’s good to be reminded once again—to learn to let go of past mistakes and old grudges that are loaded our hearts.
May our lives reflect our hearts.
May our hearts of gold always be the light for others.
Have a blessed Eid Day.
