Forgiveness!

By Stanley Collymore  

 
Forgiveness in itself is a thoroughly
commendable quality, but quite  
indisputably and absolutely  
understandably doesn't come that easily to  
many people. And evidently expectedly so!  
Specifically when most unwarrantedly, the  
pain, utter embarrassment, and obviously  
crucially also, the clearly debilitating, and  
its actually accompanying and invariably  
vastly, dispiriting humiliation that sprung  
from what was quite callously; spitefully,
malevolently, and literally hurtfully done;  
predictably triggered, then set in motion  
and undeniably, generally reinforced the  
inevitable causation which also notably  
led to the curt cessation, of any kind of
communication, simply between those  
irrefutably effectively at odds persons!  
 
How then  to basically bridge that  
yawning, discernibly hurtful and  
even actually treacherous gulf  
that has originated, then clearly becomes  
an excruciatingly painful quandary which  
realistically, and quite logically so simply  
can't logically be quite easily overlooked  
let alone fittingly fatuously kid one's self  
that it didn't happen! But Time is a great  
healer and the fortitude, courage, steely  
personal inner strength, and their vitally  
associated attributes naturally coupled  
with an astute, sensible insight to draw  
on these human resources, that solidly  
clearly inevitably make one a far better  
person than previously, will discernibly  
expectantly, inevitably kick in and truly  
by doing so thoroughly and also richly  
enable the salient, productive process  
of forgiveness to unequivocally begin!

Author's Remarks:
Forgiveness should specifically not to be a mechanism which is purposely deployed to show to others and distinctively indicate to the individual or persons being forgiven that the person/persons rendering it are somehow vastly superior to those being forgiven, even though they might well be conscionably better and considerably far more moral in terms of their own behaviour, than those to whom this forgiveness is being given. But evidently and equally so, those being forgiven have a moral responsibility as well as a bounden duty to fully ensure that by being forgiven doesn't mean in effect that they specifically have an automatic right to literally carry on being and likewise as well behaving as the undoubtedly very odious entity/entities they purposely choose to be!
