i always thought that forgiveness was simply the by-product of a more elevated view of the situation at hand.

like, if somebody attacks me, then the only reason i withhold forgiveness from that person is because i feel that they have taken something from me. i cannot forgive because i still hurt. but (individual, personal) pain is only possible in a separated state. when the veil is lifted, or thinned, the pain washes away. if the pain no longer exists, then the crime no longer exists either, and the grudge, having nothing behind it anymore, disappears naturally.

so my goal isn't so much to forgive others as it is to attain the state where non-forgiveness is recognized for the folly that it is, and words like "forgiveness" make no sense, as non-forgiveness becomes, from that elevated viewpoint, an impossibility. and negating an impossibility is mere wordplay.

i look forward to the day when words like "forgiveness" are no more than a distant memory.
