Thread Name: BS: Can People Forgive?
Subject: RE: BS: Can People Forgive?
I can forgive anyone. Forgiving only affects the one who decides to forgive or hold onto the hurt. Forgiving does NOT mean I can't mistrust or dislike someone, because that's based on who I think they are, not what they've done.
When you don't forgive, you keep holding onto hope that things can be made right, and that's far more poisonous than just letting go of the whole mess. Especially if you're the only one who wants something to happen or wants a specific outcome.
