In Ishavashyopanishad Greed has been told the root cause of all the evils in the world and in human beings । in Gita Lord Krishna and in Ram Charit Manas three are the causes of evils 1-lust/sex 2- anger and 3 - greed। really if we have no greed we can keep ourselves away from all other human weaknesses and drawbacks ,mentioned above । Lord Bauddha has taught us compassion /kindness /Karuna . there is one saying in samskrit , '' करुनैव रसः '' । but in Jain Philosophy the importance has been given to KSHAMA forgiveness. in Bible too , it has been taught that you should forgive your enemy . the general code of conduct prescribed in our society is ,- '' yasmin yatha vartate jo manushyah tasmin tatha vartate sah dharmah '' and in English , - ''an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth .'' but this is for common people and can not be prescribed for those who are virtuous . Mahatma Gandhi says , ''an eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind . '' a man who think to take revenge keeps his own wounds alive ,deep and green . if we want to revenge any in the same coin as violence for violence we become equal to our enemy , but if we use love and forgiveness in place of violence we become superior to our enemy (we treat him not an enemy but as our friend .) thus revenge is an inhuman work and word . Williiam Shakespeare says , ''heat not a furnace for your foe so hot , that it may/ do singe yourself .
Forgiveness is divine quality and when we do the act of forgiveness we become divine and loved by God . well said , '' to err is human , to forgive divine . forgiving is an act of strong and powerful. the weak can never forgive . Dorothy Deluzy writs , - it is very easy to forgive your enemy than your friend . again , you can / may not forgive yourself for your mistakes , that is good but you should always try your best to forget others . forgiveness is one of the human virtues that makes us good , great and Godly . forgiveness is rather double blessing , because it sooths the person whom you forgot and sooths you and gives you peace of mind and feeling of goodness aswell greatness . forgiveness is a kind of mercy , an act of charity and feeling of oneness . i.e. brotherhood .
