>>One thing to ponder regarding the nature of forgiveness.. If you forgive someone who has 'wronged' you you actually gain power over them. The moment you forgive anything they've deliberately done to you their power to harm you is disolved. Not by retaliation - the endless cycle downward - but by a 'higher' approach.

Well said. Thanks.. If I gave the impression that I thought this was a sort of 'Christian only' kind of deal I need to apologize and make sure the record is set straight.
