Last night several of us assembled at Ruth S.'s for a Reflection on "Forgiveness," led by Remi. We read quotes on the topic from several major religious traditions and also an analysis of forgiveness.
The discussion was quite interesting. Some of us have encountered situations where it is hard to forgive. There's clearly a distinction between "forgiving" and "forgetting," and even if we do forgive we agreed that we have a right to protect ourselves by leaving a hurtful relationship.
Some of us have also been on the other side of the forgiveness issue, having done something another person finds it hard to forgive us for. That's also an uncomfortable spot to be in.
This was a thoughtful and insightful evening, and many thanks to Remi for leading the discussion. Thanks also to Ruth S. for hosting!
