forgiveness

"If we practice an eye for and eye and a tooth for a tooth, soon the whole world will be blind and toothless."


"I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note--torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one."


each degree of forgiveness is aimed at 2 people in my life. one a friend, one a lover. Searching "forgiveness" has taught me something today.
