Hello! What a nice day it is today. Do you know what this, um, nice weather makes me think of?

[She holds up a little pamphlet, entitled "The Joy of Forgiveness", with clipart of two men shaking hands. It's probably been taken from her local church.]

I know that sometimes people can do things that are very insensitive or rude to other people, often

[What. What?!]

This network wasn't created as your personal preaching post.

[tattleina]

It's just another way for people to communicate with each other, and I thought of something I wanted to communicate.

[doubleoohbaby]

Not everyone wants to hear it.

[tattleina]

Well, if some people don't want to listen to my advice, they can just ignore it. Even if they probably need it.

[actually kind of interested in this] Is it possible to forgive someone after they have passed on?

[tattleina]

Oh, of course it is! But it really depends on what you have to forgive them for.

[technophantom]

Deception for monetary gain.

[tattleina]

Well, I suppose that isn't too bad. Depending on what sort of deception you're talking about.

No.

[tattleina]

Oh. Well, that's nice for you.

[backatthehotel]

Innit.

[tattleina]

There must be one thing, though.

[A thin-lipped smile.] If only it could be that simple, sometimes.

[tattleina]

It can be that simple, sometimes. Have you never seen Friends?

[fishnets]

...which one of my friends?

[tattleina]

No, I mean the sitcom! That's a very good example. Even if it did seem a little complicated, they always got together in the end.

And if there are people being markedly immature regarding someone who said something with only the best intentions of helping their relationship? Who in that equation ought to be forgiven, I wonder.

[tattleina]

Well, it really depends on whether both people felt hurt by the other's actions.

[oncemercurial]

Hurt is a rather strong word. What if one party is merely mystified by the gall of the other two?

[tattleina]

Um. In that case, I suppose it depends on who feels that they would want to fix the relationship.
