Power.... >>wups. You give me too much power. Why would I forgive you for something you like doing and intend to continue doing. That is awfully egotistical and presumptuous on my part. I didn't even tell you that I thought it was bad. Everything is forgiven whether its a problem or not whether the perpetrator enjoys it and sees it as an important aspect in their life experience or not...I don't think so.>> I unconditionally forgive myself and you. For I chose not to look at my and your actions from a judgmental perspective. For this boxes me/you in. And our unlimited inner natures war against being boxed in. >>On the other hand, if you feel bad about it and and would like to have a higher standard in how you view my character and want to relate to me in a better way in the future because you see this exchange has taken a bad turn. No problem. Well, lets start over, I forgive you for any offenses I have felt, and I hope you will do same regarding me. I forgive you...and as always, I forgive my self. See I have that standard...I try to treat others as I would treat my self...and that is the best I can do.>> No I don't feel bad, but I did perceive - rightly or wrongly - that the exchange was being "pinched off" by judgment - whether you concerning me or vis versa. It's refreshing when we can learn to forgive and remain open to the wonderful excitement, variety and energy which moves us through each day. For "when we treat others as we would want to be treated" we are confirming/validating that we are all connected to the same spirit and energy in some way. I firmly believe each of us has a special unique, priceless, sacred story and voice that has to be shared with the world in some way, however large or small the impact. When we help and serve others we work to empower these special energies in ways which get people to share their stories and voices with others. A lot of this has to do with helping people to overcome fear. We each have the power to create trust and energy which, when freely and unconditionally shared, helps others to step into the River of Life. Peace. GO!! Now go in peace and have a nice weekend. brees
