lies have fast winds in the beginning and short legs in the end... I mean a rumoring lie is very fast, but also will be ever catch by the truth... IMO...
only a slight "correcting" Glance, if you allow me (well even if you don't <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />)...
ok i've read a lot of things about lying and forgiving and i must say i'm not convinced at all. I'm really not criticizing anyone here, but all these good feelings are good and well, but i know i can't be saying with certitude if i forgive or not without knowing what i forgive and there will be things i won't forgive.
By example if i learned a friend or a virtual friend was lying about his antisemitism i.e was saying explicitly he was not and was (i mean that i would learn he was) i w'm sorry but i wouldn't forgive in any cases.
And that's only an example.
Another aspect. There are lies which are not addressed to a person, but to a collectivity (community). These one should logically be forgiven "collectively". Is that possible. I'm not so sure. Anyway it doesn't has the same meaning than personnal forgiving.
also sometimes it is really best to cut all links with the person even after having being forgiving.
