I haven't caught 7 pounds yet, but based on a friend's blog entry, the movie is one that
'Questions your sense of morality and sincerity. One that explores the extent of which one is willing to go, to seek repentance. Where sorry is portrayed as anything but a simple word'.
His words 'To which extent will you go to repent' struck me.

Like the comment I left on his blog:
Often in life, we come across people who either abuses the word sorry and use it like an everyday adjective.

OR

People who simply choke on the word.
People often think that saying sorry puts an end to the mistake they have committed.
How often do they repent for the mistake they have committed?
For the hurt they have caused?
Repentance is to repent from the heart, to train the heart into obedience and to make a firm resolution never to commit the sin again.

The repenting person should remember:
1. The grave consequence of sins.
2. The painful punishment for sins.

Repentance is the most noble and beloved form of obedience in the eyes of God.
He loves those who repent and it is because of His love for His creation that He tests them with sins so that He may shower His blessings and favours upon them after they repent.

"Except those who repent, have faith and good deeds, those HE will charge their sins for good deeds. Certainly HE is most forgiving and merciful."

The person who has been hurt may have forgiven the person who has repented.
But a scar is left behind to remind the victim of the mistake the latter has committed.
The pain lingers.
Forgetting is not as easy as promising to move on.
And bringing it up again may spark off another episode of drama and tears, and would mean breaking the promise to move on together.
How else can we move on?
Will we ever be able to MOVE ON?

This will be the topic for my next entry...
