Forgiveness, what it means to you.

Define forgiveness. Whats your process? Why forgive? What it means? Is it about behavior or the other person? Is forgiveness "shame based"? When do you continue to maintain a relationship with some one who continually hurts you? When do you not?

One thing I haven't heard anyone bring up yet. The punishment aspect of unforgiveness.

[maipai101]

Some acts are just unforgivable. But if you do forgive never forget.

Thanks for sure Mai. Forgetting is not reasonable.

Sometimes I think people say they forgive, but are actually still punishing the person indifferent ways.

I do understand the people aren't programmed and we're allowed to make mistakes. I really do get that. But I think BECAUSE we're not pre-programmed, we need to take that extra minute or six and really heed the advice of a brilliant and life-savvy lady who tells us to "THINK ... THINK about whatcha tryin to do to me"

I don't think mistakes need be punishable by death (of a relationship - be it friend, lover, whatever) but I do think some sort of lesson need be learned.That's the tough part 4me.

Your drawings are incredible; so detailed. Thanks for sharing those... now I must seek out others on your channel.

Forgiveness. Hoo boy that's a tough topic with me. I've morphed over the years. I used to forgive darned near everything. (peace, love, hugs and flowers ... oh what a wonderful world ~~ and all that)

Then something happened. I can't put my finger on it. I've tried. But when my 'something' happened, I had a much tougher time forgiving, and forgetting left my dictionary.

I agree.
