Re: Forgiveness or Negotiation?

It's funny, but for a very long time, 39 years in fact, I thought forgiveness was a letting go and then trumpets would sound ( 8- D ) or the person would see the error of their ways and admit it and I would say it was ok and that was forgiveness.  What that ended up giving me was the same wounded soundtrack over and over in my head.  I've found that it is just letting go period.  It disappears and you are free.  The strangest part for this Buddhist is that the phrase, “Let go and let God.” was the key in the lock.  But, this freedom is beyond comfortable. Its like being able to see after living with scratched up glasses or sitting down after a marathon.

I guess a woman can be a fool at any age, but I'm a much happier fool now.
