I love this line. And I agree, Understanding has to be at the party. I don't think true Forgiveness is possible without Understanding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25500648.post-55716639012227448042007-01-12T03:01:00.000-08:002007-01-12T03:01:00.000-08:00For me forgiveness is having compassion for someon...For me forgiveness is having compassion for someone's inability to change their actions. To hate what they do but not hate them. <br /><br />It is most definitely not allowing them to continue to act in a way that is hurtful. <br /><br />To be able to say I care about you but because I care about myself I can not allow you in my life until you change the way you act.<br /><br />My closest friend has hurt me so many times that I eventually had to cut her out of my life. It hurt a lot and I was filled with bitterness until, in my heart, I could forgive her. <br /><br />I did not invite her back in my life but I no longer had long bitter conversations with her in my head.<br /><br />I apologise for the essay but this is such a relevant issue in my life.Helhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151484041306013384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25500648.post-24967923076853138182007-01-11T14:08:00.000-08:002007-01-11T14:08:00.000-08:00hey girl. i just wandered over from acumama's blog...hey girl. i just wandered over from acumama's blog, where she wants you at her dream dinner party. <br /><br />i love your grit and honesty with this bitch of a topic. forgiving myself used to be a big black sludgy hole. i'm working on that every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25500648.post-27665182482713781562007-01-10T08:49:00.000-08:002007-01-10T08:49:00.000-08:00I have a hard time with forgiveness although I do ...I have a hard time with forgiveness although I do often forgive when Intuition is telling me otherwise.

When I finally feel healed enough and perhaps feel that you are no longer a person who would do that to me.<br />But there's this whole premise of 'forgive for <i>you</i>, not for them' that I don't get. How can I force forgiveness? I agree, it's slutty.<br />They say the way to achieve forgiveness is to pray for the one you want to forgive.<br />Yeah none of this works for me.
