explain the meaning of "too err is human, to forgive divine"
Answers
Answer:
No human is perfect and so everyone makes mistakes. The fact that we are human means we will all make mistakes.
Because humans inevitably make mistakes, from time to time we will all work with people who disappoint us. Sometimes these people will be close to us and other times they will be people we dislike.
Forgiving others is not easy, especially when we feel we've been wronged unfairly. So forgiveness can sometimes feel like it goes against our human nature. As humans, we like to hold-on to our feeling of self-righteousness -> A feeling of "I know I'm right and you are wrong, so I feel like I am better than you."
So when we forgive, we are acting from a place that is "higher" than our human urge to hold a grudge. In forgiving, we go beyond our animal instincts of wanting to be angry. We act from a place of greater wisdom, some may describe this as "divine."
So to err is human because we all do it. To forgive is divine because it requires that we go beyond our "lower mind" and act from a place of greater wisdom and compassion.
