Notes About The Poem

------------------------------------------------

Comedian Paul Foot in three seconds, changed his life while driving a car. He in that instant decided: ‘I’m not an irritable, angry person. That is not my true nature. As of now I have forgiven everything that anyone has ever done to me or will ever do, and all my faults and mistakes I've made => 100% not 99%".That tiny 1% remnant, lodged in the brain causes 100% resentment, 100% loss of esteem, and opens the door to backtracking.

The Brutal Reality of Binary Willpower

binary self-will
I could never quite do it
leaving escape clause
in analogue equation
go with 1, just once, all-in

Yes John! Forgiveness is so important, so powerful. I think alot of peeps hold it because they feel like they are giving the offender something. But, you should forgive for your own sake. Forgiveness is very destructive, consumes alot of energy, and it separates us further from God.
