Forgiveness is essential. I have touched on this topic many times and will again many times more. Forgiveness is a pratice - a practice for a lifetime - and that is why I return to it so often. Greivences and resentment will follow us through life. Always. The world is growing closer and friction is ound to be a common occurance. From traffic mishapce to work and social misunderstandings we will rub some people wrong and others will do similair. Forgiveness is the promise of peace of mind. Forgiving others, forgiving ourselves and forgiving circumstances and situations that are simply out of our controll - it's a constant, meditative expereince - it's the recognition that peace prevails beneath the surface of all things artificial and as the Course In Miracles tells us all that is not love is not real. So why get upset over an illusion? Forgiveness is the return to reality. It is also why the Course states that we can always choose love over any situation - the Course is telling us that we can return to reality, we can return home. But first we have to choose forgiveness - it's the only doorway available.
Peace,
Eric
