I return to Claypool’s story of two brothers who spent twenty years trapped in resentment. What a loss! And I look at the world in which I live: its lawsuits, its road rage, its vicious mind-killing gossip, its suicide bombers and terrorists, and everything in between. Is it just too simplistic to say forgiveness is a large part of the answer? No, because granting forgiveness is part of how we repair our pasts, and it’s one more of the things that leads to resilience.
