I do not consider your comment "gate-crashing." It is an honest response to what you have read by the quote and myself.

I did, however, base my reply/comment upon my own personal experience. For there are things in my own life that I've not been able to forgive because they were too horrible for me to consider forgiving. Thus I have carried them. I do not necessarily support the idea of carrying them but I am honestly afraid to let them go. For I do not know what I would do then.

I am just being honest.

Like you, though, I do support the idea of forgiveness if it is legitimate.

For me it's as much about needing to forgive myself & hoping to be forgiven. And yet, I understand why the person in question struggles with this; why it's so hard for her.

But the pain & bitterness she hangs onto taints her life; I long for her to be free of it but I know almost better than she does why it's so difficult. And as you say ~ what is one supposed to replace the anger with?

I could ask no more than what you have already so graciously given--understanding.

Thank you for that. You are appreciated.

What a lovely thing to say ~ thank you so much.

Let's both aspire to kindness & hope that some of it rubs off ;)
