Part Two
"Forgive and
Remember" (2) Something on unforgiveness.... Quoted from Jerry
Sittser."
- "Unforgiveness can lead to hatred in the heart and a
desire for the wrongdoer to suffer as much hurt as the wronged is
undergoing.
- Unforgiveness is like fire that smolders in the belly, like
smoke that smothers the soul. It is destructive because it is insidious.
Occasionally it flares up in the form of bitter denunciation and
explosions of rage.
- Unforgiveness should not be confused with healthy responses
to loss.
1)Justice and anger
are legitimate emotional responses to suffering. And grief is a natural condition
that follows on the heels of loss.
2) When we suffer,
our soul cries out in anguish. This is the beginning of the healthy but painful
process towards healing."
