A Rabbit's Musings- Our lack of Forgiveness

Hey, peeps.

I started this blog a...long time ago to separate my musings from my main blog...then proceeded to complain directly on my blog. Whoops.

In the years since I first created Rabbit Trails, I have been watching the world fall to pieces. Especially in my home country, the U.S. 

It is unreal to me to see the violence, thievery, and general mayhem that is now commonplace...it breaks my heart. 

People I know, people I watch online, they are suffering while trying to remain optimistic and honest about the world. And, they are being destroyed for fighting for our nation's healing.

Many older generations have given up on the nation, believing it'll crumble from our selfish pride. The younger generation wants, but doesn't fight, doesn't extend a helping hand nor a forgiving hand. 

So....

...what do we do?

Forgiveness heals the heart and humbles both our pain and pride. But, our world calls for prejudicial justice and scorns the murmuring of forgiveness. It has equated forgiveness to ignorance, forgiveness to inmediate trust. Trust is earned, forgiveness is...forwardly given. "Pay it forward", right?

We can "pay it forward" at Starbuck's, but not in forgiveness? That is what breaks society into ravenous factions. That is what burns bridges.

Forgiveness moves us past our injuries so our heart doesn't fill with festering, venomous rage. Like a doctor's scapel, forgiveness slices open our soul's infected wounds and, like medicine, washes it and disinfects it simultaneous.

Without forgiveness, we are nothing. 

Without forgiveness, we are burn black.

Until you heal, fight to forgive, fight for our society.

Later, peeps.
