Humans ‘claim’ that they are capable of forgiving. I convey that with trepidation because forgiving someone for an assault on one’s emotions can be irreparable. While understanding that some deeds cannot be repaired, how can one truly forgive? Some say it is a radical decision to do so. I agree. It is a brave and humble decision too. Bold humility is what we have to attain to fully forgive. Therefore, making the concept of forgiveness a bit more complex. To be humble one has to open him/herself up to the pain. To be humble one has to become vulnerable…again. Control has to be relinquished. So, if you have forgiven, really think about if you ‘made’ yourself humble in the process.This woman left her pain behind, embraced humility, and then forgave:
