Hi, Izabel, In another forum Linda intoduced the subject of dharma and I posted my comments regarding the Kikuyu belief in dharma (although I am not sure if the spelling is the same). Your post above is probably a better way of explaining the Kikuyu belief. Every action has consequences - the consequences are inevitable but the initial action, no matter what the consequences, neither merits nor needs forgiveness. Regards Arthur

Linda, Thank you for post! You talk about radical forgiveness! I believe that the most radical forgiveness would be Gods forgiveness and Grace. This is called Agape Love. To think that the Creator of All would forgive us of our sins, (no matter what they may be) don't you think that we should do the same if we are to obtain God Likeness. Shouldn't we be able to forgive people the same as God forgave us? When we harbor the sins that have been commited against us, they become cancerous and will eat awah at our soul and spirit.

Hi Izabel, What you have expressed IS the concept of Radical Forgiveness. It is not "forgiveness" in the traditinal sense, which is "blaming" someone for doing something wrong and forgiving them anyway. Radical Forgiveness really means that there is nothing to forgive. You are there! Congratulations!
