#Forgiveness is vast—there really is no rational reason for it. #Justice by itself asks not for forgiveness but for #restitution. Forgiveness requires great #love, love that calls us beyond ourselves. Big love calls people to forgive bigly. https://bit.ly/4kxtIcG

TRIGGER WARNING: Blog may contain sometimes difficult descriptions of survivor stories.
By Sarah VanBlarcom I feel like I have a secret, but I’m not quite sure what it is. All I know is that somehow, I’ve not only survived, but am thriving at life, and somewhere inside of me lies the secret for how that is possible. I’ve always wanted to write my story, but life […]

Hot take from Sue Klebold that flies in the face of most of this book (which consists mostly of why forgiving is less letting someone off the hook and more about giving yourself permission to get over it): Forgiveness is elitist or, at the bare minimum, not egalitarian.
That’s the kind of statement that makes you hold up a finger like “wait just a second here!”
… But then the finger slowly drops.
Yes, by forgiving someone - by telling them you forgive them - you are automatically putting yourself in a superior position to BESTOW forgiveness.
How interesting is that?
And from Sue Klebold who really, REALLY wants people to stop telling her they forgive her for raising half of the duo that shot up Columbine High School and essentially changed American culture overnight.
You can’t really blame these people, though. The shooter is dead and they’ve worked through whatever emotional baggage they have and want to grant forgiveness, if not to the guilty party, the closest thing possible.
Makes me want to read Sue Klebold’s book!
The rest of this book is too fluffy for me. You read that forgiveness lets YOU off the hook, not the person being forgiven one time and then you read that story over and over and over.
But the Klebold chapter? That was a surprise that makes you reevaluate a lot of things in your life.
