Thoughts on Forgiving

THOUGHTS ON FORGIVING

Unforgiveness yokes one to his foe.

Kabir: Forgiveness is a game only saints play.

believe GOD is the only Doer, the only Actor. Therefore

the curtain to congratulate you on your performance.

J Myzkowski: My former enemy was a mirror who revealed
the dirt upon my face. P

and the scorpion each time returned a sting. Some said
"do you not know it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?"
and the saint replied "it is my nature to save."

I mentally regress him to baby state.

many shames. Therefore do not judge.

you if you praise me for the good. (God is the only Doer)

to remember that only a tiny slice of the pie of their
divinity was brought into this incarnation with them.

Sai Baba: Not in the morning pond does the lion wash his blood.

The Buddha: The more evil done to you the more good do in return. (Buddha's purity was so great that those who plotted to kill him had their plans recoil upon themselves, not by his actions, but by the law of spiritual physics.)

who pressured. P

who trespass against us.


There's nothing in this life which is worth worrying about," she says. "Don't be nervous, whatever happens. Don't sit near your TV sets and wait till sickness finds you. Work, walk, meet people, do something but don't stop moving.

"Love people and forgive people, whatever they do.

P means paraphrased

No arrow can return unless it was sent out by a person
in one life or another.

a documentary on the Green River killer....
Like many serial killers he was perhaps an abused child and more certainly abused
animals.... the loved ones of his many women victims
were allowed to confront him at the trial.. he sat unmoved
... as they all accused him... finally one man came forth
and said "I forgive you." The prisoner broke into tears.
Forgiveness can move mountains

It is the nature of judges to be judgmental, and in the US, the 'higher'
their status, the more likely they are to kill with their pens. Tweet
