loving is doing the best for a person according to his situation.
sometimes, the best is to know. at other times, to understand or respect. but at all times because human love is a fragile relationship, to forgive.
when the thread of relationship snaps, two things always happen - the relationship is broken, people are hurt. there is a need of healing for hurts, reconciliation for the brokenness. thus, forgiveness offers healing of memories and reconciliation.
just like in confession, we are healed of our sins, we participate in god's life again. fittingly, confession has also been called the sacrament of healing and reconciliation.
if the love of god is to love us without measure, the measure of forgiveness is to forgive us without measure. such is the love and forgiveness that god gifted us and empower us to do likewise.
of course, we have to let go of our pride.
