following up something that T and I discussed recently, I read an article yesterday that said, unless one has forgiveness for self, it's impossible to truly forgive others. I took exception to this. I felt that I do have compassion for others & am certainly capable of forgiveness...

To prove it to myself I made a short list of people in my life (past and present) who have harmed/offended me, and noted for each whether or not I have forgiveness for them. The results, to my surprise, were mixed. So I am thinking, not impossible, maybe difficult - then again, it is another questoin entirely, whether the two concepts (forgiveness of self & others) are connected at all.

I am aware of a couple of PC people who also struggle with self forgiveness; might I ask how you would stand with a similar list? If this is too personal to post publicly you might PM me? thanks
