Hmmm

Alright, someone erred
Stole a moment of glory
Occupied centre stage
Through means unethical
To which most took umbrage 

This is a time for reflection
Do we hesitate to forgive
Instead condemning the soul
Who momentarily went astray
Is not love and light our goal

Let us mindfully gentle touch
In each and every situation
As we leap forward to embrace
Assisting those who faltered
Leaving of past wounds no trace

Candide Diderot Date: 6/5/2024 2:37:00 AM Oh get "REAL". Here’s the "G.O." Seeker. How do you forgive crimes that are completely unforgiveable? For there are crimes and instances of grave injustices, that are completely unforgiveable, that is a Fact. You know like, I’ve been following the Daybell case (Tylee and JJ) and the Soto (Madeleine) case to name just two of far too many at present. Particularly those involving innocent children.

If we do not forgive, roles keep exchanging life after life until the victim forgives the aggressor and exists the senseless game of revenge. Candide Diderot Date: 6/5/2024 3:12:00 AM Let us not enter into the murky realms of one’s own universe. You tell me, would you forgive, for eg, those ripe examples? Would your perceptions of "forgiveness" be so Light and shining if one of your own was taken in such a manner? Which leads one to all high and mighty stances, and do forgive the irreverance...how, if one prescribes to "God" and if there is a "God" only God knows his/her true thoughts, does God forgive these examples of the worst in humanity? I've heard that God dishes out a harsh penalty on such "sins". A whole can of worms opens. Light and Dark. Some things (especially crimes...against children specifically) are logically "unforgiveable", there is no Light in that bit of darkness. Best kick it back to Hell. I'll catch it standing at the gates and make sure it makes its way in and I'll slam the door shut tight after it. Someone stealing a moment of glory is a drop of nothing in a pool of the very dark sticky stuff. As always, kindest, Cerberus (possibly Lilith).

Ink Empress Date: 6/4/2024 10:55:00 AM Dear seeker, kindness is sometimes my weakness and im quick to forgive, i often have to remind myself why i shouldnt forget although i might forgive, especially when iv been done wrong, and never received an apology. About this poem, i sometimes think to myself, who am i to condemn someone who is older than my grandmother? But i wish, they would find light, and a stronger purpose in life than to steal and cheat.theres more to life. And you are a very generous and kind soul. Stay blessed.

And what is ego but an ephemeral bubble of illusion?

David Kavanagh Date: 6/4/2024 1:22:00 AM That’s all very fine Seeker but say that person doesn’t want to change their ways, or accept another’s assistance? Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 6/4/2024 3:01:00 AM Of course and I do understand human weakness, that’s what I write about most of the time, especially my own, I’m certainly not here to condemn anyone, except maybe those that try ram stuff down my throat, (you’re not one of them) :) Unseeking Seeker Date: 6/4/2024 2:52:00 AM I don’t endorse plagiarism, no but ask for kindness in understanding human weakness
