Forgiving the Unforgivable

Tweet

have heard a friend talking about forgiveness. She said that we should not let the sun go down without forgiving people we have wronged and in the process you are also forgiving yourself. Looking at her saying that, I sensed the sincerity in her words but sad to say, she had never talked to another friend nor seen her eye to eye after an exchange of words which hurt them both! I was caught in the middle! I was about to say something but chose not to express it anymore for it might not help. I was only there for her, listening intently...waiting for her to realize that this tension of opposites is working on her. And she is the only one who can figure out how to deal with this because she needs time....she must work it out inside of her before she can detach herself from the cuffs she put on herself. Forgiveness, I believe also needs time. You just cannot say you had forgiven someone then never forget what pain she had caused you...and from time to time every time you see the object of that kind of affection, it takes you back in time when you know exactly you have not healed yet inside. Guilt takes in which only worsen the situation. Forgiveness cannot be achieve.
