Being on the right side...but turns into...the wrong one

Yup! It happened to me on Sunday night on August 27.

This is a brief story about what happened that night:

I was on my way back home after going out for several food to eat. Just before I turned right into the street to my house, I saw a biker on the opposite side of my way. The distance between me and the biker was about 20 metre. Slowly but sure, I turned right. But then I heard "....BRAAAAAK!" Oh my gosh!!!...The biker crashed my car on the back-left door and not in a minute, the crowd gathered at the TKP. Being on the RIGHT SIDE....the incident raised my anger.

After debating and arguing each other at TKP and my house, then the decision was finally made up: no charge paid by the biker due to short of money. They asked for apologize. and my parents forgave them, considered the accident as a APES. Me!? No way!!! There were no way to forgive.

After the crowd dismissed, I entered my room trying to visualize the incident from the beginning. I realized...I was on RIGHT SIDE but then turned into ...THE WRONG ONE, which was not forgiving the biker. My parents had forgiven them. How come I couldn't forgive them?
Suddenly, I noticed that manetek ma iluku (censored-red) and my heart was filled with HIS grace, encouraging them to say, " Lord.... I forgive them. Please forgive them for what they have done to me."

After that, I felt free from anger, revenge, malice or other evil things, but HIS peace and grace. I thanked God for this incident. He taught me to forgive other people......as I want HIM to forgive me.
