Reply To: Discuss some examples of forgiveness in A World of Curiosities
Great point about Armand and Amelia; neither of them actually materially harmed the other person and yet both were stuck in some way with their feelings and memories. But without their conversation, I don’t think either of them would have been truly free to move forward. You have captured one of Cheryl Meadow’s main points; forgiveness can be about reconciliation but is fundamentally about “letting go.” I think this conversation also gave Armand the room to forgive himself. I think that is the bigger struggle for him.
