I have had a very similar soul journey.
After decades of anger over a childhood abuse, I have fully forgiven the abuser to a point of love and acceptance that almost seems impossible but there it is.

And rather than feeling he’d finally broken or somehow defeated me, I felt so relieved and freed that it was incredible.

That seemed to be a turning point because now I’d have to actually work at holding a grudge.

That shift kinda freaked me out.

You’re such a level, polite and rational person that your very small “ list”‘isn’t surprising.

Yes...I see you get it too. There's the road. All we have to do is follow it.

And, being human (and therefore imperfect) we follow it imperfectly...:)
