Interesting, Line...In fact, can forgiveness be granted if the other has not asked for it? That seems rather shallow and self-serving to me...Perhaps there is no forgiveness possible without the request being made...Wonderful food for thought here. Appreciated. ~ Gershon

You know, you're right. I'd forgotten about that...And it's necessary too, in order to move on. Excellent point! ~ gw

I've often heard how victims of crime forgive their assailant in order to move on and free their heart from the burden of hate or the rut of feeling like a victim. I wish I knew how that huge feat is done.
