Forgiveness

Is forgiveness always necessary? In my opinion - yes! It is not easy. It may not even be possible - each of us is only human, and some wounds are nearly impossible to heal. But forgiving is always an ideal to strive for.

Here is what forgiveness is not: forgiveness is not saying of an evil thing, "It's OK, that's fine." Forgiveness is discovering that there is something better in you - something divine, something not present in the act that you grant forgiveness for. Forgiveness is that theological virtue called Hope; hope that your love has power to make things better.
