Exactly. Do we really want to change the world or do we just want to be right? Forgiveness is the only path forward... and what an example it will set! I hope when and if the time comes I will be strong enough to forgive and not to display anger or resentment.
Forgiveness is great. But opening yourself up to more abuse, crime and death under the guise of forgiveness to satisfy one’s own moral needs, is not a good idea. Trump recites the snake poem over and over for good reason. We can forgive these people for what they did to us, but it doesn’t mean we let them into our new world. I would bet my last dollar that if Hitler begged God’s forgiveness, that He would forgive him; but He’s still not letting him into heaven just because he asked. These people are still snakes. Never forget that.

I’m still working on it, too.
