Re: the Concept and meaning of 'Rehm'
is it that pity when you take pity or 'tarss' on someone. it is empahthy and regard for the other person? or is it a willingness to let go of induced principal of least interest in someone, because the interest is there, but it is not expressed for hid reasons from the person who is not seen in good light? & if someone does not show you that, nor explain why it is not there, should you give a benefit of doubt to that person?
is it possible for rehm to spring back into real life situation from which it is excluded?
any views? dushwari
Nice topic Dushi.
I think to limit rehm to mercy or forgiveness is going against its meaning. When we forgive we, as humans, have the need for gratitude or a silent acknowledgement for that forgiveness. If we can rise above those needs then it will be true rehm.
I, being the imperfect human, will be somehow proud of being the "forgiver".
Rehm therefore means giving without any expectations of receiving.
Ok so on a lighter note, I have given my opinion on this topic and I don’t expect to receive any counter-arguments!! :D
