IIIb. A Ponderer's Words.

So tell me..

Forgiveness.. Have we truly forgiven if we have not forgotten? Or are forgiving and forgetting two separate actions, distinguished only by their occasional simultaneous occurrence?

Hesitation*.. Is it part of human nature, a trait arising from lack of confidence that merely "locks you out" sometimes? Or is it a defense mechanism, one of our mind's miraculous ways of subconsciously protecting us from that which may harm us?

Regret.. Is it our mind's way of looking back at our past mistakes, to help prevent us from falling into the same hole twice? Or is it simply a sharp blade, one which we are pointing straight at ourselves, "we" who may not have known better at the time, "we" who would be considerably different had we not made that mistake and learned from it?

I always forgive...but i never forget!

To me hesitation IS gods way of telling us...stop right there, you're going in the wrong direction!

Regret...None...maybe a few...sadly too many!
