Dig a grave for yourself. Continual unforgiveness isn't healthy.

There's nothing I can quarrel with in this post. What outrages me most now, is how Michael Schiavo barred the family from being at her side at her moment of death. Tht is completely outrageous and yes, unforgiveable. No matter where you come down on this, I don't see how you can support that.

Actually, righteous anger (the handmaiden of "unforgiveness," to use your term), IS healthy. If it eats at you, chews away at the edges of your life, let it go. But if it makes you feel a little stronger, a little better about your core beliefs, embrace. Just read about it in a health column in the WSJ.

Remember the book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--And It's All Small Stuff"?

Some of it ain't small.

Good grief guys, give him a break. This is hard on all of us right now, living in the moment. Many people who have a loss feel this way immediately after, but we calm down as time goes on, and we move on from it. Let him, and others like him, be to express their grief and sadness how they see fit. Tell them to forgive later, when it calms down.

Jesse Jackson sensed that this event is ultimately fatal for the Democratic party ~ if your forte is to play the victimhood card and now no one cares about the victims, you've got nothing.

Seems to me it was up to Terri to forgive her tormenters. None of the rest of us were harmed directly and therefore have nothing to forgive.

However, we can make sure this turns out differently in the future, and that some of today's players are penalized to whatever degree the law will allow ~ and that law has gotta' be changed 'cause it's gonna' have to be a really, really, huge "degree"!

Holding your anger inside ain't healthy either. Alot of us are angry and must let our anger and frustration at this travesty, out.
