Tell me friends.

Are there those of you who find it difficult to forgive another?

I am curious. For personal reasons -- there is no judgment here.

personally speaking, no, although it could always depend on the situation, too.

i like to think i'm a forgiving person, though.

[grandpaladin]

That is good. Being able to forgive others is a great skill.

You are fortunate.

Reinhardt.

[NO.]

[saveyourserpent]

Frankly, I think it depends on the person and what they've done.

It's still quite difficult.

text

[grandpaladin]

A very good point!

Generally speaking, however... is it easy for you?

text

[cadeuces]

I think there are some things in life that are truly unforgivable. Rare though they may be.

Forgive me for my assumptions, but I would never have thought the topic I assume is at hand would be such for you, Reinhardt. You have never been a man who has had difficulty getting back to your feet after a blow. Especially for someone you love.

I wish I had known you were having difficulty with something; you've always been welcome in my home and we can speak of your troubles if it would help.

You know I make an excellent cup of hot chocolate. ♥

[grandpaladin]

Ah I know. I know.

I didn't want to trouble you. You were already so bothered. This is my problem, Angela.

I thought perspectives outside ourselves might help.

But thank you <3

What happened?

Lena.

[Crap. How does he say this.]

A personal problem. Someone else... is back from the dead.

Forgiveness must be earned. It cannot simply be given away.

text

[grandpaladin]

You think so?

Even when others have already given it?

[warandpeace]

I absolutely think it's difficult. It depends on the threshold of what I can tolerate. [His threshold is very low nowadays. Unless the whole world depends on his forgiveness and that apparently makes him reconsider, as he's discovered here.]

If they're not sorry they can go to hell.

[grandpaladin]

They are, of that, I am sure.

Does it make much difference to you?

[frostedplum]

I think it depends on what they've done and how that action affected you or innocent people.

If something they did really hurt me, then yes, I think I'd have a hard time forgiving them. But I can't think of any examples right now.

{ text }

[grandpaladin]

I understand. Very much so.

What if they have already been forgiven by others? Others that you trust.

text;

[tinkerhell]

you could skip forgiveness altogether.

[ha ha ha ha.]

text;

[grandpaladin]

That is not an option.

text

[unaffluent]

Forgiveness is very difficult.

text

[grandpaladin]

In general, or for yourself?

text

[inconsequence]

Since when has forgiveness been useful in practice?

text

[grandpaladin]

Always, I would think.

text;

[justonetouch]

Depends what they did.
There's someone I'll never forgive.

text;

[grandpaladin]

Would you wish to share why you feel that way?

text;

[sketchycharacter]

sometimes. depends on what they did.

text;

[grandpaladin]

So many have answered that way.

I am beginning to agree.

text

[coercive]

Forgiveness is weakness.

text

[grandpaladin]

I would disagree there, my friend. But why do you say so?

text;

[flynnitomite]

Nah, mate. You know what feels better than forgiveness? Elaborate revenge.

Or a simple revenge.

Either is fine, honestly.

text;

[grandpaladin]

I


Don't think that is true.

Text

[nicearsenal]

Depends on how badly I got screwed over and the final outcome.

Text

[grandpaladin]

Circumstantial.

That is what many people here have been saying.

[tearsinajar]

Sometimes, even when you've already forgiven someone, it's difficult to accept it. Maybe then you haven't completely forgiven them?

text;

[grandpaladin]

I do not think I have.

But I wish to.

[Considering everything that's happened between her and her mother and Jack, Reinhardt's words hit her in a vulnerable spot. It takes her a bit before she answers, but for him she would; there are rare few she trusts as much as him, especially with something of this nature.]

I think, maybe .... that's me.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Forgiveness is circumstantial and ongoing once initiated for the most part, I find.

[grandpaladin]

You sound like most here, so far.

You all may be on to something.

[nishizono]

i'm never forgiving my "parents", so there's that. most people i know get dead before they can piss me off enough to hate them, though.
