Teaching children to be forgiving, compassionate and merciful is imperative in a world where people are busy seeking revenge and suing each other at the drop of a hat. By imbibing values such as mercy and compassion, parents can thwart the development of feelings of hatred and animosity in the hearts of their children. But before that, you need to understand the meaning of mercy completely.
Mercy has a way deeper meaning than most of us think. It’s not just limited to forgiving and pardoning people for the wrongs they have done to you. It also includes the ability to overlook an act of offense and giving someone a second chance. Merciful people are patient, show compassion and sympathy, and are patient and tender hearted. They are kind and warm towards everyone, not just friends, but also enemies and strangers.
