Sometimes we are serious. :mrgreen: @ Ashish: Awp. That doesn't sit well with the more spiritual sorts. @ Sumit: Ah, the twists and turns of this indifference! :wink: @ Extempore: I don't think there is. And welcome to the Idea-smithy! @ rambler, Rada: I think both of you have hit the nail on the head..with different hammers (if that makes any sense!) Great comments, both of you and thanks for sharing those thoughts! @ Kiran: As you can see, I didn’t. Sometimes we are serious. :mrgreen:

So forgive me if this comes out rather fragmented.. Forgiveness is a kind of unconditional acceptance as you have suggested, certainly. But forgiving a person can also give rise to feelngs of self-importance. "See what a noble person I am, I have forgiven him!". It is a very subtle form of ego. Here is where forgetting beomes important. You sublimate your ego by even forgetting the act of forgiving! Do I make any sense! :oops: Probably not!

“See what a noble person I am, I have forgiven him!”.

It is a very subtle form of ego.

Here is where forgetting beomes important. You sublimate your ego
by even forgetting the act of forgiving!

Do I make any sense! :oops:

Probably not!

Here's something to whet your appetite. Are you projecting your indifference or are you applying it to yourself? There's a lot more down that road...
