Too man pop-ups. Forget it.

I am so forgiving that I consider forgiveness not to be mine to give. It is this heavy burden of "love all" that demands this posture (sometimes it is quite a heavy burden). Without going into any detail (what for -- my experience is my own -- singular and unique and therefore not palpable to any other), I know this to be true from multiple instances of life experience, and thus I state it as "my" opinion of personal fact.

If someone injures me the reward and punishment of that act are not mine, but belong to fate and karma. My role when injured is always healing through love, which keeps the mind serene and the heart whole. My role, pre any intended injury by any would-be external predator targeting such injury, is to minimize the damage by not being in the inferior position, the position that leads to victimization. How can one do this in a variable world? That is the essence of the matter.

I totally agree. After 8 LONG years of all those lying murderers, bush, cheney, rove, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, etc...I will NEVER forgive them for what they have done to my country.

And I will never forgive these lying creeps who will not give my President, President Obama, the time it will take to uncover us from this terrible rethuglican nightmare. Lay off of our President and give in a chance.

I answered until the popup then stopped. It seems the quiz was just a decoy to foist another ad on us.

Depends on what. I will never forgive Bush and Cheney and the rest of the neoconfashists for what they have done to this country and the world. Does that make me a "grudgeholder"? Fine, so be it.
