@Benafia. . . “Forgiveness is actually one pathway to freedom; I can change what I have assumed was solid history. And that brings with it the power to serve God or Life in my own purpose for being.” So enlightening, and so true. Thanks for that!!!

Thanks for this fine post.

Forgiveness can seem as if I am required to surrender to a wrong, just to make something right again. What I notice in forgiveness is that I am made new; new possibilities open up. Things are not just the way they were before.

Forgiveness does not cover over an experience of wrong, it can erase it, leaving the one doing the forgiving realizing that they are who is being forgiven for judging! Oddly(?) one is left with a greater awareness of Being than before the wrong was determined a “truth” as at least being an emotional fact.

Meet ones higher self and connection to The Divine. Forgiveness is actually one pathway to freedom; I can change what I have assumed was solid history. And that brings with it the power to serve God or Life in my own purpose for being.

Very true Cordie, the world needs more tolerance and less judgement, judgement has really become an uncomfortably constant part of us these days, hard to relinquish!

i think forgiveness is also most important for our own sake, to let go our pain and heal …

yes Cordie.

how often do we find when it is hard to “forgive” someone else, the stumbling block is in essence ourselves?

@Aliceaudrey. I believe that agape works with any thing, including eros. But when eros meets agape, you’ve really got something there! PLL, C.

@Tobeme. So true, Mark. But forgiveness very hard for many people…any ideas for those hard, unforgiving souls? PLL, C.

Then do agape and eros work together?

Forgiveness is the turn key to our happiness and to being our authentic self. When we forgive ourselves and others we open ourselves up to the energy of the universe.
