I know that if they shall die then I will see them in the end. I think that if Elie is a religious person then he will believe this also and understand that he will spend the rest of his life with his family. Also as God says you should not be greedy and worry about your valuables that you own. You will not need these things in the end.Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145082453139934141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262591245236132079.post-84853689373357156322008-12-11T09:47:00.000-06:002008-12-11T09:47:00.000-06:00Okay Josh, so if you were in that position, years ...Okay Josh, so if you were in that position, years later after all of the pain and heartache you have, what're you going to do about it?

In fact, alot of the time forgiveness is something that you do for your own sake. I know i have forgiven people who have done me wrong without ever recieving an apology from them. Erika said it all by saying that you have to live your life and not dwell in the past. I would just be thankful to be alive.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675413327928122103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262591245236132079.post-84011987842296972222008-12-11T09:38:00.001-06:002008-12-11T09:38:00.001-06:00I don't agree with this at all.

Are you on the forgiveness side or the hate side? I like what you said, but it just seems... naive. I don't mean that in a negative way but looking at the big picture you have to live your life, you have to think about the future more than the past. You must remember your past but you should also keep the hope for your future with you. You can't move on if you are stuck hating what has happened in your past. You have a whole life to live and thats what they were given, a fresh new life to live. It was their choice whether to live it or hate it, and I would rather live it.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057590244824927988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262591245236132079.post-92212740872924771672008-12-11T09:35:00.000-06:002008-12-11T09:35:00.000-06:00You hold a great point, and i agree that it would ...You hold a great point, and i agree that it would be so hard to forgive and a lot of people say they could not do that but forgiveness is a long process,it does not mean you have to forgive them the next day or even the next year forgiveness takes time but i think that it would eat at you until you did forgive themSenior 09https://www.blogger.com/profile/00861226740922285725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4262591245236132079.post-10923062425789641762008-12-11T09:32:00.000-06:002008-12-11T09:32:00.000-06:00I do not agree with you at all.

If you were ever in that position, as years went on and the pain would just sit there in your heart, how in the world would you ever not be able to forgive them!!!
