Hi Viral,
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to respond to the beautiful statements and questions you send.
The following was written before I read the piece on forgiveness.
Giveness is similar to kindness. Living well is being kind. Living is for being kind; for giving. I once read that a root of the meaning of the word " understanding” meant that when one understands, one forgives.
Written after I read Bernard’s comments on forgiveness:
Excellent and inspirational. If we constantly forgive, we are constantly kind. When we are kind,I expect there will be fewer occurrences precipitating the need to turn the other cheek. Forgiveness is for giving/kindness.
The last listing on Sheldon Kopp's eschatological laundry list is: "learn to forgive yourself again, and again, and again.” The first item on his list is: "this is it."

You continue to have my deep gratitude.
