I
think forgiving - the jettisoning of long-prized garbage - is like pulling
weeds: it isn't something you do, and then it's done. It's something you do,
and then do, and then do yet again. And don't forget the sailor who confessed
to the priest that he literally had a girl in every port. When the priest asked
if he was sorry, the sailor, embarrassed, admitted truthfully that he wasn't
but wanted to be, so the priest [wisely] told him, "Tell God you're as
sorry as you can be, and then just assume God will understand!"
