That guy definetly did not deserve a person as good as you :) <BR/>I was thinking about forgiveness earlier today, too. Have you seen that movie, Diary of a Mad Black Woman? Mom and I rented it today, and I really do like it a lot. <BR/>There is one dialogue in which they are discussing forgiveness, and the main character's mother points out that we have to forgive people not for them, but for us. She pointed out that the anger we harbor toward others only gives them power over us. <BR/>I see her point there, and it made me want to try harder to forgive others. I think maybe the first thing, really, is forgiving oneself? I think we have to forgive ourselves for letting us get into such situations, and for the 'mistakes' we make- maybe that would make it easier to forgive other people, too?<BR/>The movie also has lots of funny parts. I think you might enjoy it :)<BR/>Take Care,SunGrooveTheoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377274505303065014noreply@blogger.com
