Forgiveness is not a decision or choice. It involves a grief process given a voice.

Grief has five stages with no order required. You go with the one that you feel in real time.

Then as long as it takes when you get true acceptance you have to decide, just forgive or forget this?

If you want to “forget”, this means reconcile. Another long process you must do for a while.

You have to be truthful and express all your feelings. the forgiven must understand, to find healing.

They must be repentant, change their mind, and direction. Contrition must happen to build trust and connection.

If this doesn’t happen then there’s no reconciling. Then, more times than not, you’ll break up from denying.

But you can just forgive and still walk away. You’ve done all the work, freed yourself from betrayal.

And you cannot force anyone to agree, that without reconciling true caring can’t be.

So then, you do have one more big decision, toxic denial or true, just, forgiveness.

There is no way an Empath’s stay on Earth today can be okay.

Too many people, armed and lethal, preaching evil, under steeples.

They use religion’s coercive mission, turned Trump’s commission of forced submission.

Perverting justice to hurt and crush us. They hate, insult, the just amongst us.

At the cost of humans lost. Through red lines crossed without just cause.

Until there’s nerve for justice served, with just deserts that they deserve

Empaths cannot be okay, today or any other day, til MAGA’s justice debts are paid.
