[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 71015, member: 3647"] To me, forgiveness is something I do for myself. I release myself from the burden of anger and pain that comes with being wronged by somebody. It sets ME free. Harboring anger and resentments does nothing but eat away at me little by little. And it does nothing to the person that I am ticked at. They are not the ones losing sleep! Forgiving is not always an action verb. I have forgiven an awful lot of people that don't even know that I forgave them. I don't have to call them and tell them, and they don't have to apologize in order for me to forgive. It does NOT necessarily mean that I think what they did was OK. Forgiveness is not the same as mercy. God does that [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
