I personally think that forgiveness is if sincerely given, a kind of release to oneself, because the moment you forgive, you relieve yourself of the burden of hating another well... human being if you still consider he or her to be one. Like all things, saying you are going to do so is easy but it takes a lot to make that commitment to honestly forgive because once it is sincerely offered, it can never be taken back. But having said that, this might be a cliche, men never forgive, only forget. I also think that this is rather conveniently the easy way out. But taking the easy fix it doesn t mean it is wrong. Rather the more efficient method. I hope all this actually sounds coherent.

Quote from Yoda:
"Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny."

Hope your friend will be able to forgive her husband when she heals from her wounded feelings...bless her.

To forgive a person is not easy especially when it is your love one or family members that betrays you because they are the one you trusted most.

i guess at this point of time, she may not have strength to forgive BUT at least the thought of letting go would perhaps help. Wheh she is more at peace with herself and start picking pieces in life, then looking back, she would be more ready to forgive this HEARTLESS ANIMAL.

To be absolutely frank, that bastard would never EVER be remorse becoz he most likely think he does not need to be forgiven. or he may thinks she is a fool to forgive him. This ANIMAL does not deserve any more love from this poor 29 yo girl. so lets move on...TONNES of man out there.

peace,

Ed: Calm down.. breathe in and out.. yes.. slowly. Well, it is not us who would be the judge on whether or not who is in the right or wrong.. what we can do, is to only pray and hope that she will have a speedy recovery from this pain, and learn to let go.
