Theos-Talk Archives (March 1999 Message tt00161)

Let me try.

All our perceptions and actions are colored by what has happened in the
past. We see anything happening at present "interpreted" or colored by the
past and usually the perception and reaction to the present is distorted.
Whether one argues such "distortion" is good or bad depends one own
judgement which again is usually done based on the past perceptions and
actions.

If one simply forgets the past, and looks at each event and our perceptions
in the present without the past trying to interpret, then it could be one
way of forgiving.

Seeing things as they are is one of the very difficult things.
