Forgiveness and Knowing

A funny thing about forgiveness… I was pretty clear about who I wasn’t going to forgive,and even let the person know that- rather dramatically, of course.

Then I read Malcolm Gladwell’s book, Outliers, about the deep ,deep,deep,impact that background,race,culture and environment have on our psyches, perceptions, beliefs, and actions- and then suddenly saw how little choice this person actually had.

Hmmm. Hmmm. Perhaps , without realizing it, we’re all a bit unaware of the buttons and levers and triggers that inform us.

Perhaps we all are . Things may not be only what we see.

Perhaps there are some questions coming from NOT knowing that might be useful.

Different strokes create different folks.
