Batemax3000 - dont look down

Forgiveness Is Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose.

Because Dylan Has All of the Thematic Bases Covered (see 1992's "Froggie Went a Courtin"), But Kristofferson Could Hit a Ground-Rule Double.

Already Derailed: in the Streisand 1976 Version of "A Star Is Born" the Hard-Drinkin' Hard-Rockin' Song Kristofferson Sings to Set His Hard-Drinkin' Hard-Rockin' Bona Fides -- Watch Closely Now -- was Not Written By Him, But Rather By Paul Williams.

Paul Williams:

Co-Writer of the Muppets Song "Rainbow Connection"

Played "Little Enos" in the Film "Smokey and the Bear." Called "Little" Most Likely Because He Was Short: Five-Foot-Two Short. The Seventies Were a Different Time.

That Said: 'Watch Closely Now; is a Darn Fine Song:

"You're comin' with me girl, I'm gonna show you how
When it's scary, don't look down"

Note: This is Not Directed at Darcy or Synova or Freeman Hunt. Mostly.

But Back to Forgiveness:

We All Like To Believe We Can Forgive, if the Circumstances are Right and the Stars Align, But the Topic Here is:

Is There Someone (or Something) That You Have Previously Forgiven That You Now Believe Was an Error of Judgment or Generosity? What Forgiveness Would You Take Back?

I forgave George Lucas for "Howard the Duck" but it only encouraged him to create Jar Jar.

So, I blame myself in a way.

Aridog said...

What Forgiveness Would You Take Back?

What would be the point. Part of the act of forgiveness is moving on. Why would you go back. If it subsequently appears that you forgave a recidivist, the problem is not yours, it is theirs.

PS: This only applies to normal humans of course, not government executives, who A.) never forgive, and B.) make sure no good deed goes unpunished...e.g, unless they get their cut.

I Do Not Know How to Cop a Snit. Does it Involve Setting a Trap with Undercover Agents and A Snitch Wearing a Wire? I Have No Personal Experience of That Within the Statute of Limitations.

Freeman Hunt said...

No need to take back. Plus, then you'd be one less to the requirement of forgiving 490 times.

Re: "What would be the point. Part of the act of forgiveness is moving on"

I Agree With That Statement. I Am Circling Around the Idea That One can Forgive for the Good Feeling, which is a Hollow Sense of the Act. The Realization That We Now Have to Accept Moving On is Where the Rubber Meets the Prostitute.

rcocean said...

One can regret forgiveness when its based on the expectation of repentance. However, if its followed by even more insult and injury, your original forgiveness may be regretted.

Karen of Texas said...

Should you expect anything from the recipient of your forgiveness? Forgiveness should be freely and wholly given with no expectation of anything in return. Shouldn't it?

deborah said...

rc, the forgiveness is for your peace of mind, not the other's.

Freeman Hunt said...

There's a difference between forgiving and trusting. I can't imagine someone regretting forgiving, but I would guess there are innumerous stories of people who regret re-trusting.

ad hoc said...

Forgiveness, whether deserved or not, allows you let go of your anger and be less bitter. It is a gift for yourself more than the person you are forgiving.

If the good feeling seems hollow, maybe the injury is still too painful.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

regret re-trusting.

"the forgiveness is for your peace of mind, not the other's."

You'll have to explain that further. Someone does me wrong, they apologize, "Won't happen again, Man" Fine. Forgiveness.

Next week, they do me wrong again. Result: I regret my forgiveness.

Maybe I'm an unforgiving bastard. Or maybe I don't understand "forgiveness".

Don't think there can be any real "re-trusting." After betrayal, it would always instead be a "trust, but verify" thing.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

As an Aside... her will not mine.

rcocean said...

So forgiveness is: I'm not bearing a grudge, I'm not going to stay angry, I'm not going to continue the feud.

Is that it?

So its your internal state of mind.

Freeman Hunt said...

It's a gift to the other person, not only oneself. It's a tearing down of hatred and evil in the world. It's a form of self discipline. And, for Jesus people, it's a non-negotiable requirement set by God.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

"trust, but verify" thing.

deborah said...

Beta, from when I used to be a Christian, I would say that, yes Christ crucified to atone for sins would have been a load off God's mind. But Freems is a better one to ask.

'Night all!

Freeman Hunt said...

So forgiveness is: I'm not bearing a grudge, I'm not going to stay angry, I'm not going to continue the feud.

I would add, "I'm going to love this person as myself." Or, if one can't quite get there, "I'm going to try to see this person as God might see him," is a good place to start, I think.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I Was Following the Fulcrum that Deborah Presented to See How Far it Stretches.

When I have Asked For Forgiveness I Would Like to Think They Actually Were forgiving me With the Hope That I Would Learn, Rather than Forgiving Me Just For Their Own Piece of Mind. If That Was The Case I'd Rather Not be Forgiven Under Those terms -- the Sort of Conversation I Was Attempting to Provoke.

Robots do not compute forgiveness. Not programmable.

Here Robot, allow me to assist. There is a flash file lost to time. I must describe it. A cartoon Robot drawn in red line, is lost, somewhat imposing at first it quickly becomes clear it is a child robot, in the rain, apparently abandoned, abused by larger indifferent passing human forms, it wants its mommy. So badly. It is sad.

Mummy, actually, it's a British robot.

At some length, the flash file flashes by too fast, you want it to last, the child robot does encounter its mum who lifts it high into her arms whereupon the child robot squirts presents her a wrapped gift of a squirt-type oil can. The perfect gift. He became separated attaining it. Mother's Day. It is an advertisement for a gifts shop ,a few guys in my gang made the flash. They're awfully good musicians.

The video is gone now, but the audio is uploaded to YouTube. The video was priceless, I'm sorry they took it down, or failed to pay, or died, or whatever, I'm sorry about that because it was great. The music is in the style of Kraftwerk.

Here.

rrrrrobots love their mummies too

How does this help? I do not know. I just thought you would like it.

JAL said...

b3m As an Aside: This is What This Community Does So Well.

Yes it does. Good to see it happening.

Makes me smile.


I'm with Freeman -- the forgiveness is a done deed, and genuine forgiveness isn't undone.

Trust on the other hand -- one has to earn that and therefore must be (and stay) trustworthy. Those are the people to trust.

Proverbs has something to say about that, I think.

JAL said...

When one forgives, one is able to wish the offender well.

That doesn't absolve him/her of responsibility for the offense (we are not talking about "Excuse me I stepped on your toes" things).

For instance, I think (borrowing an illustration) that one can forgive an offender and yet still testify against him/her in a trial.

Also forgiveness involves not needing to collect "payment" from the offender.

Thylias Moss somewhere...

I don't believe in [God]; he's just a comfortable acquaintance, a close
associate with whom I can be myself. To believe in him would place
him in the center of the universe when he's more secure in the
fringes, the farthest corner so that he doesn't have to look over his
shoulder to nab the backstabbers who want promotions but are tired
of waiting for him to die and set in motion the natural evolution.
God doesn't want to evolve. Has been against evolution from its
creation. He doesn't figure many possibilities are open to him. I
think he's just wise to bide his time although he pales in the moonlight
to just a glow, just the warmth of hot chocolate spreading through
the body like a subcutaneous halo. But to trust him implicitly would
be a mistake for he then would not have to maintain his worthiness
to be God. Even the thinnest, flyweight modicum of doubt gives
God the necessity to prove he's worthy of the implicit trust I can
never give because I protect him from corruption, from the compla-
cence that rises within him sometimes, a shadowy ever-descending
brother.

ndspinelli said...

Trust and forgiveness really have little in common. Forgiveness should be given as much as possible because it is rewarding @ a core level for both the forgiver and forgiven. However, for many people forgiving is difficult. It can be for me. Generosity is akin to forgiveness. That comes easily to me and like forgiveness, it is fulfilling for both the giver and receiver.

Trust, well that's a different ballgame. The first requirement of trust is honesty, followed closely by respect. Put those together over a period of time, combined w/ successful challenges to both, and you BUILD trust. However, trust is as delicate as an orchid. It can be destroyed in one act of betrayal. Then forgiveness comes into play.

When I started my biz in 1983 I did all types of work. I had a family to feed. I served subpoenas, summons, did criminal defense cases and domestic cases. Here is a brief synopsis of the last domestic case I worked.

A wife hired me to watch her husband. Based on the info she gave me it sounded almost certainly the shitbird was fucking a co-worker. I said that to the woman and told her she should spend her money on a counselor instead of me. She wanted surveillance. Well, I followed the husband to a motel where he met the coworker. He was grabbing her ass as they walked into the room, all on video. She had gotten the room. They were inside the room 48 minutes and exited w/ him still grabbing ass. They got into their respective vehicles, kissing each other first, and returned from their "lunch.". I showed the video to my client. This is straight up, She asked me w/ a pained look on her face, "Well..do you know what they were doing in there?" Denial can be stronger than carbon steel @ times.
