S.A TRIVIA QUESTION
Today is known as the Day of reconciliation, but during apartheid South Africa the 16 December was known as?
A - Day of vow B - Day of war C - Day of pain

Answer: A - Day of vow

Here’s some info:
In apartheid South Africa 16 December was known as Day of the Vow, as the Voortrekkers in preparation for the battle took a Vow before God that they would build a church and that they and their descendants would observe the day as a day of thanksgiving should they be granted victory. With the advent of democracy in South Africa 16 December retained its status as a public holiday, however, this time with the purpose of fostering reconciliation and national unity.

TIP OF THE DAY
How to Reconcile a Friendship

Take some time to replay the events of your recent disagreement. Write down your side of the story and then write down your friend's side of the story without being biased. It will help you to gain perspective on where your friend might be coming from and give you a bigger sense of compassion.

Accept the possibility that your friend may not want to reconcile with you. Decide whether or not this move is one that you want to make. Realize that you could be disappointed or feel hurt should your friend decide not to mend the relationship.

Write a letter of apology to your friend outlining how you feel about the situation and read it to her in person or over the telephone. Admit your responsibility in the disagreement without placing blame on the other person. This can be difficult for many people, because it's human nature to want to forgo responsibility for negative outcomes.

Speak to your friend honestly and sincerely when you talk to him during your reconciliation meeting. Relive the good times you had as friends, but give adequate attention to the negative aspects of your friendship. Your job should be to communicate your honesty and authenticity about yourself and your feelings about your relationship.

Give your friend some time to think over the decision to reconcile the friendship. Be careful not to rush them into the decision, since you want it to be a mutual reconciliation. Make a pact with your friend to start over with a completely clean slate that is free from past indiscretions, arguments or disagreements.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Robert Muller: To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.”
