Forgiveness

May 08, 2009 20:07

Nothing bad has happened, I just got to thinking about the word "forgive". It's rather an odd word, since it means to no longer blame someone for whatever, but it looks like "for" and "give" and I don't get what you're giving really. Or maybe it's "fore" and "give" like you're giving something ahead of time. But I don't even really think of it as giving so much as discarding. When you forgive, you are removing something negative from yourself.
