To err is human, to forgive divine: To err means to go away from the path of right. Human beings are full of frailties and are imperfect in their thought and deed. In spite of the best of intentions, men tend to commit mistakes and may be hurt, and harm others without realising it. Only the man with the light of God can always walk the right path. There are few human beings who can boast of doing it. Yet we forget our own weaknesses and find fault with others for committing errors. God forgives man because he perceives human limits and limitations. He also has great love for man. We can forgive another’s errors. God forgives man because he perceives human limits and limitations. He also has great love for man. We can forgive another’s errors only when we realise our oneness with other human beings and love them as God does. We should remember that while to err is human, it is divine to forgive another’s error.
