thank you for sharing your thoughts Sky... forgiveness is a matter which i have at times believed in and other times i felt it was completely unnecessary as it involves the concept of fault... when fault is brought into a matter of concern, often there is a great amount of finger pointing, blaming, guilt, and denial.. the flames of passion to those involved in sorting out disagreements sometimes does little more than feed the fire...

for me, i prefer to glean the lessons and move forward... those who carry bitterness will feel its fate in time...
