Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hello Prasad, Thank you for your warm and wise response. Yes, it is sad when unforgivenss goes on for years and years... The Safeties are a good place to deal with forgiveness, yes. On the Christian path it is a strong mandate as well, that we are to forgive each other. In fact we are told " Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us. " And the prayer of St. Francis states it as " It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. " So she knows all this. But bitterness really does a number on people, and maybe its too hard to break free. I don't know.... She is not able to hear me about the situation. I did do something for her last week that may bring a change... " Do good to those who hate you " is pretty much what your guru told you in saying that " love will leave its mark. " We'll see... I am so happy for the change that forgiveness is making in your life. That is so wonderful, Prasad. I'm very proud of the work you are doing, and the fruit of it will be a joy to behold. Thank you for caring, and for the great lessons. It has helped me a great deal to be able to share this and talk about it, and receive all the wonderful thoughts from those in the group. Thank you to every one who responded. It lightened my heart. Warm hugs.
