forgiving those who have hurt you

yes it may come. . from mis-understanding and what not -
and i remember seeing recently somewhere somewhen. . . someone mentioning - going to forgiveness instantly. - am not sure which one it came from 
maybe i'll come back to it - quite lovely . . . a good aspect i would say.
another aspect is - even those who hurt others without knowing it - a lot of times think they are doing good - -
there are so many levels so that. . someone who lives in a certain culture. . . they may climb up a little bit on a ladder -
and then think they are saintliest person. . .
yet from someone higher - who found again --- found again the health, the life ---
the wisdom, bliss, and joy that comes from simply living with love - which is infinitely beautiful,
and infinitely easy,
when you decide to get there -
someone like us who simply says - just love! for heaven's sake - it's not difficult!
leave such concerns behind you! Live at ease - be at peace ! Just Love !
So the question here is forgiveness. . . what aspects of life help you to forgive?
Anyway - to come full circle 
it's nice to be back at the point - selectivity of friends makes all the difference! 
who are our friends - that makes more difference in our lives than almost anything. . . by association - we learn so much from those aruond us, and we pick up their traits, tendencies just by being around. . .
And also they from us - and this is simply the way life flows from one to another --
And it's beautiful. . . Very much so - it's a fascinating tapestry. . . !!!
It requires some adjusting to --------- Certainly!
Anything that gets acted out of the previous world-view ---- if such a worldview is wrong and inaccurate ---- will almost invariably lead to mistakes.
So anyway - friendship - discuss! Forgiveness -- in a word, what helps you to forgive?
Forgive those who manipulate others - etc. . . who worship persuasion, and eventually become. . . less and less substantial -
by,
i suppose,
taking the path towards it.
Love and Peace.

we're all pretty much in the dark so I think it helps to remember when things go wrong that people are just kinda dumb... truly malicious people are pretty rare ime. it's easy to forgive somebody for being stupid because we have all been guilty of that and everyone is just trying to make the best of a bad situation.

Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid. heh, heh, heh.
i definitely can say - when understanding comes, then peace can be there. if we understand other people deserve happiness, too - and, importantly, it's not a 'zero-sum-game,' - we can be happy together, etc.
you also remind me of the quote ' never attribute to maliciousness that which can be explained by stupidity. ' . .. i think einstein.
anyway ya. 
or put another way, 'Rasta don't keep malice'

wow; it really is lovely - how divine beautiful and magically the world works. . . i went to look up the others (Wizard's rules)- from the series by Goodkind, and before I got to them, a listing, came to the wikiquotes section, and the third one. . . lovely! 
right on target:
"People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they're afraid it might be true. Peoples' heads are full of knowledge, facts and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool." Wizard's First Rule, Chapter 36, page 397[1]
"The greatest harm can result from the best intentions." Stone of Tears, Chapter 63, page 886
"Passion rules reason." Blood of the Fold, Chapter 43, page 360
"There is magic in sincere forgiveness. Magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, and more so in the forgiveness you receive."
Temple of the Winds, Chapter 41, page 318
Very nice, mr. goodkind. hehe
may all be happy, healthy and at peace.
