forgiveness does not forgive offenses or consequences it has on your life, or impact, nor does it right things necessarily. People who live through car crashes for instance might have to live with paralysis or something more for example, they may forgive but it does not not take away the consequences. That person has to find peace with living with those consequences of another persons action, and every day it will be reminder to them of what others did. I have talked to people who have been injured through the actions of others. Believe me the people responsible never took responsibility they were crowded around and believed. While the hurt person suffered. The question is what did the people do to rectify that, run! Or actually own it or support those who they hurt. Its when you see the truth of things and lose respect for others. You cant rectify what you do to others in the past but you can in the present. If i believe i do wrong to others i try my best to do something supportive for those i have affected in some small way, and let them know i am sorry for the offense. Of course we do this all the time. The husband buys the wife flowers after an argument..That is also integrity. I also met a guy was beaten a lot and of course the actions of his perpetrators were supported and justified. It not that we justify our actions, we own them.. we choose to understand them and the actions of others by understanding the feelings.That man with paralysis, no matter how much he lets go, he will never back his ability to move. If i was the cause of it, i would be in debited to him, i would feel that i would have to make sure he had all he needed and if not pay the costs myself for what i had done. Because if his needs were not met or being taken care of as his needs now change because he is paralyzed and if not met by the state or government, i must meet his needs as i injured him. So then in some way i would now have to contribute to his welfare as i took it away through my actions that is also a responsibility. It depends on circumstances. But this is a mock scenario. But this is how i am in the world with people at times.. Its brilliant.. they should teach it at school. imagine a world like that. Karmic debts can only be settled with action, good deeds to others or to those you harm. Praying or chanting may forgive you but it does not settle the account with another soul in life. If it was that easy, then everyone would be praying or chanting or doing hell marys because it would be easy to get off the hook. I don;t chant as much these days, as too many different energies going on. Chanting is for the mala if that is what you want to do.. In some countries if you go to prison you serve your time doing community service to pay the debt you owe, it teaches you respect. I have not committed any crimes in life nor have been to prison. What you do let off the hook, however is your humanity and the choice to make better decisions in life next time around with people or if you screw up do something about it if you can. Its also questioning in life if you have made the same mistakes as others, would you let you off the hook? He who casts the first stone. We however learn through our actions and sometimes the consequences. But none of us are Jesus it was metaphor an example of understanding feelings not actions. Just be you.. I remember cleaning mouse shit off the bottom of caravan, scrubbing floors on my hands on knees, to learn the value of hard work and respect, value of gratitude of work well done, even cleaning glass cabinets and being made to re-clean them if i missed a spot. But it made me respect myself and the work i had done, and the fact that people were using showers that i had cleaned, and that they made nice comments about those clean showers..its pride..not arrogance. or cleaning the store on the military base in America as it was my job when i traveled with my parents. You would get the general do white glove inspections. Trust me you would do it again. And if you missed a spot, you would do it again and again and again. I was taught the value of respecting my contributions and the contributions of others even if i hated there contributions or it was not for me. Healthy pride verging on humbleness. No one has it all the time, but have it more.
