This topic strikes me as a toughie, simply because it positions an open ended question we seldom

think about. Perhaps love, compassion, largesse, magnanimity, grace are involved. So what else?

Some dillhole Jethro will lumber in and say "Uh..take it to de speerichuality forum", but here's my motivation: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."

Carrying stuff around is heavy; it's easier to set it down and move on. Forgiveness is easier than carrying stuff around - it's science really - take to the science forum LOL.
