I consider myself a moderately intelligent woman, yet in concept and in practice I don't understand forgiveness.
It seems like a make-believe thing. Like if you believe in Santa, he will bring you presents. If you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, he will touch you with his noodly appendage. Like if you wish upon a flying star.....
I can't wrap my brain around the concept so I can't practice it in life.
I'm suddenly wondering if it is even a real thing, or just another supernatural belief we made up years ago and cling to out of a misguided longing to be divine.
