http://www.allearsenglish.com/evaluation   Most people think
that forgiveness is weakness but today we’ll challenge your
perspective with an awesome quote! Do you have any enemies? Do you
have any “frenemies”? Here is today’s quote for a Deep Thoughts
Thursday: “Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so
much.” – Oscar Wilde   What does this quote mean? This quote
is somewhat “cheeky” and it says that if we want to annoy our
enemies even more, we can forgive them. Also, the quote is telling
us that it’s better for us to forgive. It helps us lead healthier
lives. When you have an enemy you carry a lot of negative energy
around and it takes up space in your body and in your brain.  
According to Mayoclinic.org, the benefits of forgiveness include:
Stronger immune system Less anxiety Lower blood pressure   A
few great vocabulary words from today’s episode: Frenemy: “Friend”
+ “enemy”= someone that you care about and you are there for them
but you can’t get along with them on an everyday basis and many
things about that person bother you. To hold a grudge: You keep
thinking about something that someone did to you, you hold on to
your anger. You don’t move on.   Do you have someone to
forgive? What is holding you back from forgiving that person? Share
