Some of these might sound funny (ish) but at one point or another, each one of them was said to me. And in most cases folks were deeply serious.  


So, why aren't you forgiving again?


1.       I like being by yourself, really I do.

2.      The offending person is dead, gone or just out of my life anyway

3.       I’ve gotten comfortable with emptiness

4.       I don’t really like meeting new people anyway, no mater how great they might be

5.       If I forgive, then that means they’ll have control over my actions

6.      They don’t deserve to be released from all this negative energy

7.       I actually enjoy being right, no matter what

8.       Why should I have to do anything (like forgive)  when I didn’t even do anything wrong

9.       I hate change and forgiving would mean way too much changing

10.  I have no kids so I don’t need to be a role model for anybody

11.   People with a hateful heart might need to forgive, but I’m  really not that



Hmmmm....as much as we think folks are crazy to think a certain way, the real value of extreme sounding positions is that they give us an opportunity to reflect and check our own beliefs.  Sometimes beliefs are buried, we only see or hear the tip of the iceberg.

Read these again and see if any of them resonate, beneath the surface, where only you may travel... Then go for a nice long walk and just think about  how best to proceed.

Wishing you an abundance of peace and light,
