We cannot have peace without forgiveness. Now ideally when we need to forgive someone or be forgiven ourselves, we sit down with that person and talk, make peace, shake hands/hug/kiss/make love/whatever. But it's not always feasible. For instance, how do we forgive someone who we no longer see and cannot get in touch with? Or someone who's already dead (like how do the Jews forgive Hitler)? Or maybe we just need to voice out our willingness to forgive humanity. Whatever. Post it here. So I'll start. I forgive all those who colonized my country before. I forgive Spain for occupying us for three hundred years. I forgive the United States of America for following after Spain. I forgive the Japanese for occupying us during World War II. I forgive my country's leaders, past and present, for the mistakes they've made, and for the crimes they committed. I forgive my parents for using violence and humiliation in their well-meaning efforts to raise me as a good human being. I forgive myself, for my own shortcomings. I forgive Life Itself, for being the way it is and not the way I want it to be.
I forgive my mom for being a jerk growing up. I also forgive Sumomo (my kitty) for stealing my USB thingy and putting it in her water bowl.
i forgive my ex for taking whatever he took and being all fucked up because of it. i hate taking care of people, but i don't mind taking care of him.
This thread's a great idea. I forgive the world in general for not giving me the help I needed, because I was too shy to ask, and too isolated to even know I *could* ask.
I forgive my bullies and the ppl who judge me. I ask forgiveness for the ppl I judged and hurt myself.
i forgive Beach Bum for splitting and not letting me see my daughter..............NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I forgive all the people who judge me without knowing me. I forgive the people who have hurt me in the past. I forgive my father for leaving and not telling me he wasn't coming back.
