Word of the day...Forgiveness

[Tim C]

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a choice the forgiver makes to let go of resentment held in the forgiver's mind of a perceived wrong or difference, either actual or imagined. As the choice of forgiveness is made in the mind of the forgiver, it can be made about any resentment, whether toward another, oneself, a group, a situation or even one's God. Forgiveness of another can be granted with or without the other asking for forgiveness. Some believe the choice of forgiveness is only properly exercised if forgiveness is requested. Another view is that forgiveness is a gift the forgiver gives to oneself to free their mind of resentment. Forgiveness does not entail condoning the wrong or difference that occasioned the resentment.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all

A man who knows the point of the season we are in
Forgiveness offered freely as a gift is always sweeter than the kind that has to be begged for.

What exactly are we forgiving here?

And what does this topic have to do with Koi?

Good word Tim, and given in due season.

It has everything to do with how the relationships on this board and for the show purposes have been going recently.

I just want to get in one more jab so here it is.

Now I feel better.

It has to do with how we treat one another within the koi hobby. It is a variation on the ZNA theme of friendship through scales.

wait "forgiveness" is more appropriate for the Easter Season?...this is the season of giving and sharing....

I just dont understand why there is soooo much hostility being shown from certain members of each forum... it seems to be the same people....
