murder

If Someone Close to you was murdered...

Could you Ever Forgive the murderer(s)?

 

Yes , and when ye stand praying , FORGIVE , if ye have ought agaisnt any: that your FAther also which is in HEaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do ont forgive , neither will your Father which is in HEaven forgive YOUR trespasses.

 

Hate is like a Cancer....and it eats away at the person that is hating ......let go of the hate and leave Karma or God or whatever to deal with the murderers

 

Yet.. willon jon... it's not for the person to forgave but for whatever god they believe in..... I'd have to be forgiven for not forgiving but no.. it would never happen.


You kill someone I love and Im not gonna GIVE YOU that sense of okayness.

 

I had a dear friend killed by a boy that stole his fathers truck and went out drunk driving.....I could have spent the rest of my life HATING that kid...OR...I could let go of the hate...and say to myself...Ok....I forgive you for killing my friend...NOW its between you and God.........I did that latter.....

 

An accident.. even if the person is drunk is diff then what I was thinking of (big M)...

 

I don't think I could forgive them right away.

My brother was murdered and one of the guys served 9 months in jail. I wasn't in any right mindset to even think about the guy that killed him...the death took it's toll on me.

I did run into the guy about a year ago and actually smiled and waved. It took a while for me to get to that point to be able to think about smiling.

I almost want to go talk to him...I don't know if I could, though...

 

Forgive? Yes, Forget? Never Care about the person? No

 

it would be very hard for me to, and i wouldnt be able to right away, but if the person suffered a punishment and showed remorse i could start to forgive. i dont think i would ever be able to smile and wave, but i wouldn't want that person to ruin my life as well by making me feel hatred for the rest of my life. if anything, i would forgive them for my own benefit rather than theirs.

 

Yes

 

Wow, thats incredibly strong of you. You should be ever so proud. Im so sorry to hear what happened

You sound like such a strong person

 

It is for this reason only that I would forgive. Why give anyone the power to mar your mood? Murder can never be okay but I'm not the person whose job it is to stand in judgment. There's a reason that many faiths stress forgiveness- hate and anger are spiritual diseases that will completely consume you if you let them.

 

probably not

 

Thank YOU!

Im not the judge but common now... someone murders someone you LOVE...

me truly forgive? that would feel weak to me. god can forgive if that shit is true. its not my place. gahhh.

 

uh no. I am a mama bear. I will kill you if you touch my loved ones

 

I feel so safe under your wings.

 

Hahaha! Bears dont have wings, birds do tho

 

In that case you can hide under my wings and protect our babies.

 

I sure will

 

Thank you so much.

I went through a stage of hatred. I hated my dad's new wife, I hated Louie for killing my brother, I would have hated Mark for killing him, also, but his karma turned around and shot him in the head.

I am a person of closure. I need closure for everything. I need to know I have resolved my problems no matter what. Waving to Louie that day made the world of difference...it was small, but I felt like I resolved something that day.
