Forgiveness

Can you forgive someone who has stolen your life? A person with full faculties of the knowledge that they have invaded your every ounce of pureness. With only the craving of self gratification, with no concerns of the damage inflicted upon the naive victim. Life as you have known it to be is no longer, therefore, the changes require extensive mind and body alterations. Not given a choice confuses the brain to believe this person deserves and should receive the same destruction. Then you ponder the satisfaction of their demise only to feel ashamed when you get enjoyment from the thought. Seeking the answer deep down in your soul while struggling with the transformation of your future life, you ask yourself if this person is worthy of the compassion that is required to mend your sufferings. The only answer that can possibly ease the curing process of this human err, however intentional, must be divine forgiveness to begin your inner self healing. Yes, you can forgive what you shall never forget. Contest: "To Err Is Human, To Forgive Divine"
