Forgiveness In Kind

Forgiveness is there only one way ‘You did me wrong…l forgive you, it’s ok’ Or can forgiveness happen without consent Never to excuse the persons true intent With time indifferent to both person and event Thoughts of them no longer present If reminded and the incident enters your mind No anger ,angst ,negativity of any kind Though never to accept what was imparted on you So saying ‘I forgive you ….just wouldn’t be true’ I believe this to be forgiveness in kind If peace and contentment reside in your mind

Difficult to forgive and forget, but in so doing we find our own peace.

Yes forgiveness should come from within, sometimes though, we don’t receive any apologies, yet we still forgive, perhaps because we know that what they deserve is healing and kindness, compassion from those with healthy mindsets , ones who wish no ill and did no ill towards the one that did wrong unto them. Pleasure reading your work debx. Sending you light alwYs

I love your insight into true forgiveness, Deb. So true and so resonant: Without erasing the negativity, the forgiveness is anemic at best. Kudos, Gershon
