In every case
In every case, beloved, it is not for you to condemn and, therefore, not for you to forgive.
I agree but am left with the question why I'm still doing it.
Saying you forgive someone is presumptuous. Who are you to forgive? What made you so almighty that you can forgive another? Do you really stand on such a high throne?
No, I guess I don't.
Anguish is not to be kept.
No, it isn't.
Am I really asking too much of you?
No. But, You see, I'm getting the feeling increasingly that what the one who thinks he needs to forgive really wants and longs for is … to be forgiven his grudge. No, wait, what he really wants is to be able to undo his falling out of love and into resentment and endless anguish. And since the past is no more and never was, what he wants, ultimately, is to heal it all, past, present and future, with one sweeping gesture of his hand an heart and have everyone sit around the campfire again, laughing, chatting, strumming, silent.

Of course, in Angola we speak Portuguese, and I thank God for the gift of languages given by God.
