Sharing the wisdom within

Should the message of forgiveness really need to be preached @Bunniekins ???
-if we all knew how to be decent human beings??? I'm afraid to think that people's ability to forgive, is gravely being taken advantage of??? And I'm afraid to think, it's fuelling those doing the wrong... -in a very unjust way...Because in all honesty, I'm quite frankly tired of forgiving, people who doing the wrong thing, but then thinking they are not... (based on my conscience of my own thoughts, words and behaviours; and also my conscience *prejudices for other people's thoughts, words and behaviours)

You can be worried about controlling yourself, you can be worried about controlling others, you can be worried about those controlling you, you can be worried about those you are controlling, you can be worried about being controlling, or you can be worried about doing the controlling, you can have ample control, or you can have lack of control...

@eudemonism Personally I forgive because it makes me feel better. If I was to hold onto something bad that someone had done to me and thought about it all the time it would make me feel sick and miserable. That is why I would forgive for myself, it would set me free.

Nah I don't think so @Bunniekins

[Bunniekins]

@Bill16Me neither although it does happen to me sometimes get religous I mean .... and I do believe in life after death just not in a religious sense or spiritual sense if you know what I mean.

@eudemonism I just think that holding grudges is bad for people. It doesn't affect the person who has perpertrated the deed all it does it make the victim of the deed unhappy. So that is different from what Jesus meant I think. I think what Jesus meant was that no one is without sin so cannot throw the first stone and in that case I believe he was right.

I believe in life after death also @Bunniekins

Yea i do forgive, i forgive on a daily basis; but not so, i can continually have the wrong thing done to me. Example actions committed against my will. @Zoe7
I'm constantly protesting... -against everything i feel is wrong; that has happened to me.. in particular the mental health team, and what they are doing, are at the centre of this cycle...

At what point do they feel bad about what they are doing and realise it's wrong and stop???

@eudemonism Hi Eude I am going well atm.  I am dealing with my past issues which still haunt me and my present is becoming easier to deal with. I hope you slept well last night. Love greenpea

[eudemonism]

Yea right @Bunniekins my past issues always used to haunt me... real bad ways... huge feelings of guilt OR blame and wanting answers, closure, resolution and to move on with my life... major slide shows (symptoms) in my mind about past experiences and memories, would haunt me... it was basically like feeling guilty and fearing punishment for all the mistakes I had made. Orvfeeling innocent and needing justice for everything people had done to me. -now days, I'm that caught up in the suffering caused from the medicine and treatment I've received from the mhs. it overrides all of that stuff; although it's still there, it's not as intense anymore...-i think because my life is now revolved are the side effects of medicine...

i now know the feelings guilt or innocence was normal...  -i was trying to process everything and deal with it, so i could move on... -i now realise the best way to deal with all this mental stuff i was going through... *would of been to openly talk about it, with the appropriate people... -literally just openly talk about all these past experiences and memories, that made me feel guilty and in the wrong, or like i was innocent and had been wronged; and do the repent and resent thing... however i think my religious upbringing, influenced me to believe if i prayed to God and Jesus enough, they'd come and rescue me, and all would be resolved, and my life would come good... but essentially all I've ever had in the form of help and support-has been other people... although i done all the repenting and resenting i could possibly do...- in preyer to God and Jesus... it was other human beings whom i feared judgment from, or needed help, validation, protection, acceptance, connection and safety from...
