I'm in-between. Sure, you need to completely forgive to heal your scars and wounds and what not. Makes sense. It's easier said than done.Originally posted by Medusa View Post"Turn, and look in the mirror. What do you see?" Her own brown eyes stared back at her until she was nothing but a blur.

Re: Medusa's QDJ(year of the $1 pickle!)
Holding onto resentment means I have to give a sh*t and I'm not a big fan of giving a sh*t about people that treat me badly. Also, forgiving someone who doesn't deserve it puts me in a position of power and I enjoy that. Still, just because I choose to forgive someone, it doesn't mean I'll trust them in future. I think some people forget that forgiveness and trust are not the same thing.Originally posted by Medusa View Post夕方に急なにわか雨は｢夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は｢朝立ち」と呼ばれないの？ ＾＾If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?Comment

Nope. Some things you don't have to forgive. That doesn't mean you have to hang on to it and let it tear you apart every day of your life. I forgove what I can, but I don't forgive what I don't want to... maybe some day. But for example, not completely forgiving my mother is part of what helps me feelfine about notseeing her, and I need that.Originally posted by Medusa View PostYou remind me of the babe

What value does it have?Originally posted by Medusa View Post
I believe in "letting go" of anger. You don't have to forgive to do that.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

I think people have a very flawed idea of what forgiveness is. It doesn't mean its all hunkey-dorey now, it means that you are letting go of *whatever event/person/etc.'s* hold on your life and your happiness.
It does NOT mean forgetting, starting over, blank slating, trusting, etc.
It just means that you have chosen to move yourself past the moment of betrayal. Not forgiving keeps you stuck and under that person's power. Not forving means you are still a victim of that person or that event.
...I'm not sure what value adding the word "unconditional" has to it, if forgiving isn't about "fixing" things. All forgiving is "unconditional"...if it has conditions, its not "forgiving" its negotiating a price for cooperation and relations. That's no tforgiveness, though it can necessary to rebuild trust or a relationship.Last edited by thalassa; 02 Jul 2016, 06:41.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

I think it can be very hard at times to forgive unconditionally. It's a nice thought, but sometimes you can be deeply hurt by people. You should try to forgive, but it can be a very difficult process.Originally posted by Medusa View PostAnubisa

Works for me on one condition (LOL) I walk away & cut all ties. So, yes, there's forgiveness, but no continuance. The level of prior relationship has no bearing on this whatsoever.Originally posted by Medusa View Postsigpic

I don't think I am strong enough for unconditional forgiveness, even in myself. I might be able to forgive but I wont forget and some things like others have said aren't meant to be forgiven,Originally posted by Medusa View Post"If you want to know what a man is like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." -- Sirius Black

Re: Medusa's QDJ(year of the $1 pickle!)
If one accepts that forgiveness is an act and not an emotion then forgiveness is always unconditional.
Forgiving is something I find easier to do for other than myself. I can do it but it is hard. I can easily forgive others for their actions but if their actions cause a reaction from me, then I must forgive them in order to forgive myself.
