On 21 October 2014 I posted an entry entitled "The Art Of Forgiveness." A girl that I had been dating had just broken up and the way it went down was a real punch to the gut. In "The Art Of Forgiveness" I was trying to make peace with her and that event. I do not know if I got peace or not but I do know that she is happy now.
I was walking Molly the other afternoon and I started thinking about that post. I just now went back and reread it. Some that read it thought it was very good and others thought I was full of shit. I have found that is the way of the writer. I thought I was wearing my emotions on my sleeve. Everyone wants to know what I think and what I feel until I tell them or I write about it. Maybe I am not as forgiving as I thought. First of all, this may be directed at all of you, it may be directed at a few of you or it may be directed at none of you. That is for you to decide.
At some point and time you have to answer for your actions. Certain things have come to my attention lately that have changed my view of forgiveness. What is the "unforgiveable sin"? Is it stealing, lying, or doing whatever you have to do to take what you want no matter who you have to crawl over to do so? And all the while preaching your Christian morals and ethics and using the word of God as your defense. It is all beyond horrible in my book but the chances are, your betrayal was so deep and complete you will not have to answer to anyone for you actions. My father always told me if someone wanted something badly enough to steal it or to lie to get it, you might as well let them have it because evidently it was much more important to them. Does it mean I am going to forgive you for it? There is no way in hell.
