Obviate Need To Forgive

The need to forgive is oft for self-healing,
that we may be at ease,
so we pretend to let go of hurtful feeling,
happy as heart contractions cease,
obtaining from pain release.

Yet, neither repression nor sublimation
is the answer dear friend;
remedy lies in the simple recognition,
transgressor’s yet to ascend,
reflex response, to God’s laws bend.

Each acts as of their consciousness fulcrum 
but we judge by outer form,
expecting from humans, no feral residuum
but rather kind touch warm,
code of conduct to conform.

Aggressor, knowing no better, can do no better,
is what we should realise,
on facing hostility, say it does not matter,
for we neither weigh nor size,
smiling as do sages wise.

Our nonjudgmental stance obviates need to forgive,
for we have no ego,
attitude being that we live and let live,
expectations forgo,
moments gone by, let go.

Hilo Poet Date: 2/6/2022 3:33:00 PM A stimulating scenario, US, if I may place myself in observation. An aggressor's mindset stems from a mind that's closing to completion having the absence of light/logic had it remained open from the start. Two formidable blocks are now about to face off and by tendering this stalemate, necessitates obviation via reevaluation of their values prior to complete closure prefacing complacency and meaningful discourse to perpetuate, my friend, Aloha, aka William~moving forward in life.

It is inherent for mother nature to survive, for the occasion never presents itself as negotiable -- it will be to the death if it must be so. Aloha! Unseeking Seeker Date: 2/6/2022 5:59:00 PM Discourse yes, in loving, playful nonchalance but yet aware that if a snake bites, it’s in its nature to do so, merely appearing before us now in human form, whilst retaining it’s inherent pernicious characteristics. So, don’t grow too fond, certainly don’t trauma bond. Accept, shrug and move on.
