forgiveness

[Lorna]

i remember being really struck by the words of forgiveness of parents of young men who were murdered years ago in the uk, the kind of senseless, rascist, nasty attacks that come out of nowhere. the parents of those young men were so very, very wise.

i would like to think i would be able to forgive any offence... revenge seems like such a hollow concept, but it's difficult to imagine the reality of a tragic circumstance

i imagine that acceptance of the offence would be a stepping stone to forgiveness, and that acceptance may be the harder part
