Forgiveness

Someone defined forgiveness as the state of realization that things could not be different than they were are that time. I like this meaning of forgiveness because it provides a reasoning for moving on with other things in life. Being prone to progress and prosperity also facilitates forgiveness. I suppose women have this natural instinct of being prone to progress; except that woman I saw smoking a cigarette in her car, with her beautiful child in the rear seat; but, what do I know about her?

Exceptions to this concept may be those instances where one person has inflicted serious harm on the other. What is serious harm could vary from person to person. It could also include emotional crimes such as inflicting humiliation, taking away someone's dignity.

The cliche forget and forgive does not make sense, unless forget does not mean to unlearn the lessons of the experience.
