LET'S NOT LIVE A LIFE FILLED WITH ATONEMENT

Have you ever did something or said something that you wish you could take back? You wish that, if you had a time machine you could turn the dials and go back to that time you made someone sad...tears to fall from a friend's eyes? But life's just what it is; no matter how hard you try you can never go back to that day, or minute or second when you committed some mistake you had to later on regret.
    Over the past few months I have learnt a valuable lesson I know has made me a completely different person. We must always be careful with the things we do and the things we say, because who knows? Maybe that person wouldn't be there when you wake up the next morning. How would you like if the last thing you screamed at your mom was, 'I HATE YOU!!!', only to find that the next day she dies in a car crash...or she got kidnapped...and you never got the chance to tell her how much you loved her? Communication Studies has taught me that communication is irreversible and indeed it is!
    This isn't a Harry Potter affair...we can't borrow Hermione's 'time turner'! We have to ALL ensure that we live life in a way that we're careful with the things we do. And this begins with one thing: LOVE. To love and to be loved is one of the most valuable gifts we can all give each other. And this in itself will promote an atmosphere of peace and happiness in the world around us. That old saying, 'Forgive and Forget' that we say 'Phew! I can forgive but no way am I forgetting!' Let's put that aside and become individuals who make life what its worth. We have the ability to do so much, but the change begins with us!
