What is National Reconciliation Day?
On April 2nd each year, National Reconciliation Day encourages us to restore relationships we have damaged by words or actions. Although many different Days of Reconciliation are held around the world, this particular observance takes place on April 2nd.
We all know of a situation in which a miscommunication caused friction. The marriage was shattered either gradually or immediately. Time goes by, and before long, years pass, and not two words have been exchanged between the two people have been spoken between the two people. They may be siblings or parents and their child. Childhood friendships are dissolved in a flash over hurried words. Friends often regret the cause of the quarrell, but they are unsure how to begin over.
This day is designed to re-establish communications. Misunderstandings, unintended words or conduct, as well as an unforgiven mistake can tear families apart. Resentment, sadness, and indignation all contribute to more than friendship loss over time. These emotions contribute to health issues and also influence other aspects of our lives.
To strike a peaceful balance, the act of reconciliation requires some giving to achieve a peaceful balance. Someone must make the first move to crack the barriers that have been erected. And although forgiveness is a component of the discussion, it isn't really a requirement.
