[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 71023, member: 23"] I don't think they are the same either. I've thought I have "let go" of a series of circumstances and forgiven, but the emotions are still there beneath the surface. Just the right setting/trigger will cause it to spill over and all the feelings of betrayal, injustice, the anger, etc., are fresh. So I know I haven't really forgiven, hard as I have tried. I took the easy way, a google search definition(s): compassionate feelings that support a willingness to forgive the act of excusing a mistake or offense wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn Forgiveness has been described as a quality by which one ceases to feel resentment against another for a wrong he or she has committed against oneself. Forgiveness can be granted with or without the other asking for forgiveness. Some people also believe that persons can forgive themselves, that it is possible to forgive groups of people, or that it is possible to be forgiven by God. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forgiveness a virtue, is forgiving, pardon of a fault, remission of a debt. To forgive means give up, cease to harbor resentment, wrath, to remit a debt, to give up resentment or claim to requital for, pardon an offense. miriams-well.org/Glossary/ The act of granting pardon for or remission of (something) [url="http://www.innvista.com/culture/religion/diction.htm"]http://www.innvista.com/culture/religion/diction.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
