You just need more practice, Chesley.:) The more you forgive, the easier it gets!
Believe me, I’ve had plenty of practice. At least in getting over the pain.
don’t get me wrong, these have not been trivial offenses. I’m always eager to believe a little talking will clear up a misunderstanding. People can be selfish, thoughtless, oblivious, careless, even uncaring. I have no problem forgiving them, even forgetting the offense entirely.
I’m talking about acts motivated by a deep malice. Let me call it what it is, back-biting with severe and undeserved consequences.
