Forgiveness is for you....
Forgiveness is for you. There is a story of a man that was a prisoner of war and treated very badly by his captors. After he was liberated from prison he hated the enemy with all his heart and soul for what they had done to him. He continued to hate them even after he went home and had a family and lived a "normal life" for many years but still carried that hate. One day he realized that the hate he felt for them had hurt his relationships with everyone he loved and knew. He had come to hate the entire nation that he had fought against and had imprisoned him 30 years earlier. He also came to realize that the nation of people didn't even know he was alive and his hate for them had no affect on them, only himself and his loved ones. So you see, forgiveness is for you, not the person that wronged you.

This is a true story of a man that fought in WWII.
We must all find a way to forgive for ourselves......I am trying and one day hope it will come.

 I think forgiveness is a choice that you make each and every day and you choose it even when you don't realy feel it.
I have forgiven my grandfather for what he did to me when i was a kid. In my opinion if i can forgive him that there is really nothing that anyone can do that I would not forgive.
I choose forgiveness all the time b/c it is healthier and b/c I believe it is better for my soul...
One day you just need to say: I forgive (enter name) and then work to mean it each day but saying you do is a great starting point!

For me forgiveness is a feeling, a release of sorts I guess.  I can't just decide to forgive without feeling it to my bones or soul as you put it.  I have had to forgive myself for a few things I have done, but it wasn't easy.  Forgiveness comes for me through understanding and that true understanding takes time for me anyways.  I have seen people terribly wronged seem to forgive so easily and others that may have only been slightly affected by someone hold a grudge for a lifetime.  I think you are right kuiks that you have to decide you want to forgive, but how you go about it can be as different as fingerprints.

 I don't have a problem forgiving its just others who are allienated at the possibilities of forgiveness.

" it wasn't mine y'all, she's still in the brain
And I know wherever she's at, she's feelin' the same
So 'till my fantasy dame pop up
Every time the cell rings I'm prayin that her name pop up, for real
I know y'all, I ain't supposed to wife her
But it's God's fault, I wasn't supposed to like her"
