We all know that the greatest gift a person can give another is his or her own life.
The second greatest gift that I can think of is forgiveness, the real thing. Not the “I forgive you” and have it thrown back at you later. That is bait, not forgiveness.
Many people are waiting till they die to see if they are forgiven or not. What good is it then?
I find it easy to forgive and mean it. There have been a few times in my life when it took an extreme effort. Time usually won the battle and my resistance to not forgiving abated.
When forgiveness is given, something comes back. Not from the other person. The gift of peace as anger and hate are no more.
Usually people who cannot forgive allow the other stuff to eat away at them, rage incarnate.
