Forgive Them?

Posted on by

I not sure if it reasonable to forgive these people after all the crimes and destruction that they have caused.  I don’t think that they want forgiveness.  Nobody has ever come up to me personally for their behavior and I think it very unlikely that they ever will.  All that being said it is not a good idea to hold onto anger for these people.  It will only damage yourself.  A sense of inner detachment or love of the universe is needed.  Maybe a love for their karmic and Taoist forces work through the universe, even through those people who want to hurt you.  There may be apperception for that.  I certainly don’t believe in some type of Christian forgiveness because that leads to the strange idea that one needs to just “turn the other cheek”, which is really a slave like reaction.  These people need to be resisted at all levels.  Anger is a healthy response.  It is natural for an organism to not want to be killed or abused and this is exactly what people in control are trying to do.  At the same time anger should not be an emotion that held on to, spiritually it is not healthy.  I am working on this too.  I think I have become better but I still have work to do.

It reminds me of the fear quote  from Dune.  Just replace the fear with anger.   At least the second half is right on with anger.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Also the new Dune movie is horrible and I highly recommend not watching it.

I find the comments on this video very interesting.  I think people commenting are struggling with these questions of forgiveness as well.

  43. Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
