Expect to to forgive more, not less.

I used to believe that as I learned and grew, that I would become more perfect, make less mistakes and not have to forgiven as much. I have attempted to be "good" however I discovered that not everybody agrees on what is good or bad. I have also tried to avoid upsetting people. I learned that while there is value in being considerate to others, there are many times that I need to speak up at the risk of somebody getting upset. Only by doing that can we learn and grow. I will need to be forgiven for the times that I have caused hurt or pain. Friends, family and other people will also need to be forgiven as they learn and grow. The more willing we are to forgive, the more we can all learn and grow.
