In my Facebook feed this morning I saw this message and it made me pause to think.
“9/11 Never Forget, Never Forgive”
That at the core is who we truly are, unforgetting and unforgiving. It is how we survive day to day. We hold onto our pain, tallying up even the smallest of offenses even when the offender asks for forgiveness. How impossible then it is for us to forgive those who would use terror and the murder of the innocent for whatever they convinced themselves they would gain.
Maybe one day our hearts will soften and we will find it possible to forgive those who committed these acts. To find healing we so desperately need.
