Maybe give some free advice about: What does it mean??
It's good advice, as bearing a grudge against a person will keep you in victim-mode. Hating what they did, and not the person is generally a good thing to try and do. In the religious context, I beleive a cornerstone of the christian religion is that NOBODY is beyond redemption if they truly repent and find faith? Whatever they have done. So presumably even Hitler would have been forgiven if he had genuinely repented and found salvation in Christ? As an extreme example. The Catholic church has it's confessional and pennances as actual 'acts' that prove you repent. Now I'm sure that anyone in the Christian faith for example, will tell you the Bible is not there for interpretation but acceptance as hard fact. So I suppose you have to accept the fact that however deplorable the act, saving your soul is an option. Personally I have no religious conviction at all. But I think forgiving is the best course, because it liberates you mentally, whereas bearing animosity stops us 'letting it go' and getting on with our lives. And I think the idea that we should be able to acknowledge and move on from our own poor decisions, bad judgements and mistakes is a healthier idea than believing we are intrinsically 'evil' in some way and beyond the possibility of change. Could discuss this question all day and not get much nearer!!

Oh how I love this question. Considering I puffs in Sin City and have Sinner tattooed on my arm I find it inquisitive to say the least. My interpretation is that a person can do things others may not understand or agree with, but that doesn't make them a bad person. I have done many many many things in life people would find to be unacceptable or wrong, but see them more as a learning experience. Now that I have done such things look at where I am. Here... Passing on my lessons on to others. If you took my appearance and tried to match it with me personality, it would never fit. I'm an enigma. I sin but I'm a good person.
