2. My perspective-
As a Christian, when I can not find it in my
human condition to forgive someone- I turn
it over to He who forgave me.
It requires a sacrifice of "self-ness" or the ability
to recognize my own short comings as a person,
and then a willingness to work on my faults and
leave another person's to Him.
A very wise person once told me that if I harbor
anger towards another, for a wrong I percieve
done against me, the anger hurts me, not the person
it is aimed at. This same person told me to pray for
that person to be given all that I would desire and
I would be made free.
Works every time.
Sometimes it takes a LONG time though.
In the neocon's case, may just be the rest of my life!
