Forgiveness!
By Stanley Collymore
Forgiveness in itself is a thoroughly
commendable quality, but quite
indisputably and absolutely
understandably doesn’t come that easily to
many people. And evidently expectedly so!
Specifically when most unwarrantedly, the
pain, utter embarrassment, and obviously
crucially also, the clearly debilitating, and
its actually accompanying and invariably
vastly, dispiriting humiliation that sprung
from what was quite callously; spitefully,
malevolently, and literally hurtfully done;
predictably triggered, then set in motion
and undeniably, generally reinforced the
inevitable causation which also notably
led to the curt cessation, of any kind of
communication, simply between those
irrefutably effectively at odds persons!
How then to basically bridge that
yawning, discernibly hurtful and
even actually treacherous gulf
that has originated, then clearly becomes
an excruciatingly painful quandary which
realistically, and quite logically so simply
can’t logically be quite easily overlooked
let alone fittingly fatuously kid one’s self
that it didn’t happen! But Time is a great
healer and the fortitude, courage, steely
personal inner strength, and their vitally
associated attributes naturally coupled
with an astute, sensible insight to draw
on these human resources, that solidly
clearly inevitably make one a far better
person than previously, will discernibly
expectantly, inevitably kick in and truly
by doing so thoroughly and also richly
enable the salient, productive process
of forgiveness to unequivocally begin!

Author's Remarks:
Forgiveness should specifically not to be a mechanism which is purposely deployed to show to others and distinctively indicate to the individual or persons being forgiven that the person/persons rendering it are somehow vastly superior to those being forgiven, even though they might well be conscionably better and considerably far more moral in terms of their own behaviour, than those to whom this forgiveness is being given. But evidently and equally so, those being forgiven have a moral responsibility as well as a bounden duty to fully ensure that by being forgiven doesn't mean in effect that they specifically have an automatic right to literally carry on being and likewise as well behaving as the undoubtedly very odious entity/entities they purposely choose to be!
