Thank you for posting that. Would you mind if I linked to this post in my LJ? I know someone who needs to read this.

Sure, go for it. I figure anything public is linkable. :-)

Hmm. That's good food for thought. I agree with most of it, but I'm not sure I agree with that last sentence. I think you can forgive someone - i.e., let go of anger and resentment over their behavior - and still quite reasonably choose to withhold the trust that would allow a repeat performance.

Hm. My take on that is that while you may have forgiven that particular action, you have not truly forgiven them.
