I enjoyed your post. Sometimes forgiveness takes time and has various "stages", like you experienced, before we really truly forgive. Sometimes it's not reciprocated, and that's tough. It hurts. It takes some real inner work, but being able to experience forgiveness even when it's not reciprocated might be one of the most liberating experiences of all. .-= Miche´s last blog ..<a href="http://serenityhacker.com/2009/10/how-to-get-from-boredom-to-intuition/" rel="nofollow">How to Get From Boredom to Intuition</a> =-.

Very interesting post, I guess it's hard forgiving, but after time it is possible to do. I remember watching a movie involving a native tribe somewhere in africa. In their community when a man murdered someone and was caught, the family of the murdered man had the choice to do two things while the man was tied with hands and feet and taken out on a raft to the middle of a lake. The family could either choose to take revenge and throw the man into the water and watch him drown, or they could choose to forgive him and untie him and have him banished from the tribe. A hard choice to make.

I think I am one of the most forgiving people I know...Not by choice, I dont' think it was concious, but there has been so much "stuff" in my life, that somewhere I just became that kind of person...Unfortunately, I am surrounded by people who are the opposite...and sometimes, no matter how much injustice I am capable of forgiving, others who can't, change a relationship. Right now I am astranged from my mother...She tells me that I am angry, I won't let go, she has apologized, and I won't forgive her...It's so sad for me, because that couldn't be further from the truth, and I think deep down she knows that...but doesn't know how to forgive, to let go, to move on....and so I live my life, without my mother, because of it. You are so right about we being more that our actions...Reading A New Earth brought that home for me. I think that deep down, I was able to see that about people, which is why I was always able to (eventually) forgive...Now, if I could just surround myself with more people like that... .-= Dawn´s last blog ..<a href="http://embracingtheordinarylife.blogspot.com/2009/10/little-girl-turned-10-and-got-new.html" rel="nofollow">Little Girl turned 10 and got a new room...sort of!</a> =-.

I loved it and I'm so glad for both of you. How about forgiving your other friend, who told you that your friend had done something bad to you? And yourself for getting angry? And thanks Ivan for sharing Seans story with the rest of us. I completely agree, that we need to learn to forgive. And that there is no forgiveness without love, and no love without forgiveness. Everything else is just ego I believe, and the ego does not know about love at all. The story also shows, how much we hurt ourselves, when we are angry and unforgiving. For that reason alone, we should learn to forgive, as an unforgiving attitude can actually make us ill and damage our lives in many other ways as well. It is also beneficial to realize, that we are so connected to everyone else, that what happens to us, originates from wihtin ourselves. What we do and experience, is a result of what we think, of what thought-system we have chosen - consciously or unconsciously - and we therefore experience the concequences of that thought-system. It has nothing to with guilt or punishment, which I believe is an ego-fantasy. Seans story is a demonstration of consciounsly choosing to change thought-system, and how powerfull that is. I've had the same experience, and once I felt the total relief and liberation of deliberately choosing a forgiving attitude, it forever eliminated all feelings of being a victim!!! And that has totally transformed my life for the better :-D Love Lene Thanks Sean for sharing the beautifull story of experiencing the power of forgiveness.
