To Forgive

Forgivness csn be the easy part. When we care enough about sbout someone then we can forgive them. fogetting the deed that has caused the pain can be what hurts more than the ability to forgive.

Indeed, leaders must show its followers the example. Set an example and everybody will follow your footsteps. Forgiving is a sign of humility regardless if you were the culprit or the victim. The best example that I can give to this is the late Pope John Paul II (I have to use this example as I am a devout Catholic). In 1981 there was a plot to assassinate him and indeed, he was shot. The culprit was arrested but after that, the good Pope visited him in the cell and embraced him. In other words, the Pope forgave the culprit after what he did. Indeed, this act of humility done by the Pope is a very good example to all Catholics and non-Catholics alike. That to forgive, one must have humility. Now, in the case of the nobles, I think they should some ounce of compassion and humility by forgiving those who have offended them. A proof that indeed they are royalties in both their actuation and in their sublimity.

It is a shame that people won't even forgive family members. This was a good time to set an example, as you say, and could have sparked a lot of thought and positive actions. Instead apparently they choose to be petty and small. But does anyone really know why? Not that I care. But Sarah could have done some really unforgivable things. Maybe she abused her children or tried to sell state secrets, etc. We'll probably never know and so should not judge when we don't know all the facts.

Agree with you, leaders should set as good examples to their people! :)

I agree. I don't believe in organized religions to begin with but I think those that do should practice what they preach. If they speak of forgiveness they should be willing to forgive others despite what they have done. I think they should've set the good example as leaders and forgiven her.

im a roman catholic. and yes you're right. damn right. my home taught me about it too. but know what sometimes it's hard to forgive. especially when the what-hap happened just recently.:( it burdens my heart. i was so damn hard those times. all in me flared up. i almost torn my own family apart. it's really not easy to forgive. well now that i've talked it all to god, my heart is consoled. i know now what to do. i know we should talk but in due time. god knows i really want to. and i do want that all our issues will be talked out so that everything between us will be ok again. may god help me. BTW, are you gonna??? i mean forgive???
