hello there to U...thank you for sharing your amazing thoughts to my discussion...i really do appreciate it...that's ok, being a forgiving person is really hard, and i have no right to judge other people, why they can't forgive...yes, i do agree with you that forgiving is like turning the other cheek and hit you again...but in my own point if view, i really thought people will change if you forgive and give them a second chance or even more chances...according to the BIBLE, in Matthew 5:38,39 "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." And according in Romans 12:17-21 "Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the LORD. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Some of those scriptures must not be taken literally, it's all about forgiveness, teaching us to forgive...but in your case, yeah, i do agree with you, forgiving sometimes may mean an invitation to be hurt again...and you said, you've been there several times, and it doesn't work...but i know in time, you will still learn to forgive... Yes, i'm gonna watch this movie "Dogville." I've never seen that movie before but i'm gonna watch it, i bet it's a good movie because you said it has a real lesson in human nature...my mom is a fan of Nicole Kidman, and i like some of her movies...thanks really for sharing about forgiving...i've learned a lot from you...have a blessed day ahead of U...may GOD BLESS U & UR family always!!!
