READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING:

Political screeds about Oprah, Charlie Kirk, or TPUSA are off-topic and will not be tolerated. Please keep your comments focused on the stated topic of forgiveness. This is my membership community, and while I encourage thoughtful debate about the topics at hand, it's not a platform for you to argue your political positions irrelevant to that. I reserve the right to delete and block violators. If you want to campaign, start your own Substack; it's easy.

That’s some powerful writing. And I think you have a point about acceptance. Forgiveness starts with acceptance (Erika Kirk), and still pursues justice.

I wish you all the best. I appreciate the work you are doing.

I am the Chief Guardian of the Octagon Society, Order of Spiritual Alchemy. Our fifth Law is the Law of Forgiveness. Our belief is, forgiveness is necessary for continued spiritual evolution. That is what a loving God wants for us. As to the perpetrator, the Justice of God is undeviating.

Forgiveness does not require forgetting, or accepting, or returning. It is giving it up to God, having faith that God will make it right.

This is so hard to read and even harder to make an adequate comment about. This is not a crime to be forgiven, but to be punished in every way possibe. Taking advantage of the helpless is intolerable and I commend you for your courage in sharing this. I notice in your picture you are wearing a western hat and I do hope there is a horse in your life - they are the best healers in the world. I wish you a fulfilling life.
