Simply, "mistakes", or rather unnecessary pain (which is suffering), will repeat until the one makes the choice to take the alternate path and to act with positivity and love when the situation of the "mistake" comes up.I agree with you here. That is exactly why i choose to let it go.
This doesn't mean that for someone who has released themselves from the weight of karma will be without trial or without challenge, but that these challenges will be greeted as a catalyst for positivity, rather than a "punishment".
"Free will does not mean that there will be no circumstances when calculations will be awry. This is so in all aspects of the life experience. Although there are no mistakes, there are surprises."

Where does forgiveness really come from? love or understanding?
Can forgiveness come gradually?
Can detachment stop the wheel of action?
Forgiveness comes from letting go of a distortion that is held due to lack of acceptance.
So not accepting someone or something is just a reflection of me not accepting some (hidden) aspects of myself?
