FORGIVENESS-4-

The Reason
for a Profound Study

The subject to be discussed today is almost conflictive . But if we give the proper attention and we have an open mind , this study will be very constructive . All started in a lecture or conference for a young and enthusiastic public but who were lacking the proper depth and reflection .The subject been presented was " forgiveness " and I remember that all kind of opinions were expressed and one of the persons of the audience, proposed " total forgiveness " in such a way , that seemed like a samurai warrior . For this noble person , the word forgiveness meant , that was necessary to forgive over and over and in an absolute way , no matter what kind of offense. And besides that was necessary to forgive seventy times seven .

Some other persons , were listening with fear because were remembering similar situations . While others were of the same opinion of that person , since it had been imposed , instilled and engraved in their bones , without option neither to think nor to analyze . They thought that it was a fact , even a command and to think different , simply was bad and or contradictory . Here is the explanation : The word forgiveness , clearly indicates that every charge or reprimand is dismissed . The person is totally exonerated of guilt , in such a way , that becomes , totally innocent and free of any guilt . But this is a fallacy , in other words , is part lie and part true . This is a warning for the persons who read without studying or going in depth into the subject and who totally lose the context of order and the meaning of the things . Forgiveness is a right and a duty , only when there is real repentance . Not only the wish of improving , but to demonstrate change . Forgiveness does not make that the victim overcomes his misfortune or that the unfortunate action is blessed...continued>
