regarding forgiveness

Best book on the subject is:
The Bait of Satan

Unforgiveness gives the enemy an open door.

For me, 'forgiveness' involves realisation and acceptance of the fact that people are the product of their DNA

It's a lottery

See the lottery balls spinning around in the dome ? Well that's your DNA prior to your conception

You might get an inheritance from that hard-working, intelligent, decent great grandfather of yours

But you might also inherit from that slutty, drunken, idiotic great aunt

and so on


So we are what we are

And what we are was determined LONG before we were born

If a different sperm had fertilized your egg, you'd be someone different .. maybe better, maybe worse


So we're just lucky or unlucky unwitting lottery players


and that's what we need to remember. At which point, forgiveness comes easy

because if not for chance, that despised individual over there

could have been you or me
