Be careful with your words Quotes | #MichaelLouis - www.MichaelLouis.com #SEOHumor

For the person who waived and lost something that was of value: forgiveness Is it easier to get forgiveness than permission? Admittedly, ghosts are also seen by highlights Forgiveness requires a lot, it is a virtue to be able to forgive Some have wandered around the earth like roaring lions I refused to let myself be called coward without reason But, no reconciliation without truth do not give me an undeserved bad reputation Lying, bitterness, nag, revenge smells dead and rotting flesh All my expectations fade away I disappear in the night's blackness Losing contact with everything surrounded - by injustice 30-05-2018 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved Free Verse Only- Pick a Theme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Laura Loo 3rd place in the contest

Hello Dear Anne-Lise!! Congratulations on your win here. "Forgiveness" and all of the contradictions surrounding it are always laden with past emotions and ghost-like memories which always makes things challenging. A potent, powerful, and passionate write for sure!! Marvelous Work!! Best Sunday Wishes from Ingrid and me!! Gary

This is great Anne-Lise. A profound write, your line, "Is it easier to get forgiveness than permission?" rings with the truth of Corporate America. Many major companies even outside of the US knowingly engage in actions that are at times not only immoral but criminal.

Itms a really powerful write, you are absolutely right that it requires alot of strength to forgive, sometimes we just tell the person that ya man we have forgive you but deep at heart we remember what he did and may never forgive him, a great write and many congratulations on your placement

Great write Sunshine...forgiveness is such a struggle, especially when offenders have no remorse or repentance. I pray for a stronger heart myself :)

Not forgiving causes us more pain than the other person. Often the other person is completely oblivious or wise yet doesn’t care. This is a good contemplative Write. Thanks for sharing.

A potent message in your words Anne-Lise. Forgiveness is hard to achieve, but for those who can, it is a sense of relief on higher grounds. Well written.

A sad reality of life, I think many can relate to your words... Some people find it difficult to forgive, but what is worse is they go around spreading lies and hate... Sad... You described it very well..

Anne-Lise Andresen
