I don’t have any answers to explain how some people can inflict unspeakably horrific actions upon other people.
When we talk about forgiveness, it’s easy for the person to become angry for such an outrageous suggestion. Why forgive when the inclination is to seek revenge? Forgiveness is an internal affair. Forgiveness is a choice made that has little or nothing to do with another person. We forgive entirely and totally for our own sake, not for others. There’s no easy answer and no simple formula for forgiveness. Forgiveness does not happen on its’ own and time does not heal all wounds but when you decide you are ready to let go, then answers of how to forgive will come. Even then, it’s a process. You engage in the choice to forgive over and over and over again. Until finally one day, maybe in the near future or maybe not until many years from now, you realize something is different within you. No longer do you live consumed with anger, you now live in a world where love, peace, safety, and joy are available to you.
