I guess forgiveness doesn't mean one has to be stupid, does it? I often look at this question myself. Does forgiveness mean I should go to the cottage next summer with W and the kids? Does it mean just dismissing all the hurt that has been laid on me for years and walking around with a smile pasted on my face? What makes sense to me though is the idea that forgiveness is as much for yourself as for the other party. A life lived in bitterness is a wasted life. Where one goes with that thought is beyond me right now but I thought I'd toss it out anyway!
