Your meaningless words just float in the ether.
Senses wishing for truth but finding a mocking vacuum.
Egotism reigns in your realm of self aggrandizement
that never allows for error or transgression.
Too late we see self regard dominate self respect...
awaiting, despondently, for an admission of culpability
but when pride totally dominates humility - the silence
becomes self evident…..
Forgiveness relies on remorse.
To forgive is optional not obligational and
only the truth of contrition deserves acceptance-
All else is a mockery…..
Excellently written and conveyed, Without being pedantic Forgiveness, thru truth of conviction Brilliantly, explained. Well phrased and beautifully expressed.

Meaningless words just float in the ether. Forgiveness relies on remorse. Brilliant drafting shared with wise mind is interesting really. Pride dominates humility and this provokes thought...10

I am so pleased that you read this..I have not read it in an age and it was interesting to re read. Thank you for your overview and yes I do feel that forgiveness is optional and relies on the truth of contrition..although we don't always get that unfortunately and that then leaves us in a place akin to Limbo..ah now there's another subject to write about..but maybe not today. Thank you for your valued comments Sandra. Lodigiana xx
