“Life becomes easier when you
learn to accept an apology you never got.” – Robert Brault
From “The Human Condition: A
User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
27 November
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 Catholic 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 told him wisely, "Tell God you're as sorry as you can be, and
then just assume God will understand!"
