Forgiveness is no excuse or free pass to repeat the offence. Forgiveness is a word no one can agree on. The act of forgiving is fluid and active and can change from day to day. Strongly motivated, convinced of a godly command, or simply aware that the attacker, killer or rapist is as human as the victim's. Nowhere does the author preach or force her readers to always forgive. She feels uncomfortable with the great deal of conviction and certainty when it comes to forgiveness. Certainty and black-and-white thinking is often just a step away from intolerance, absolute faith, fundamentalism and even radical extremism. One should leave room for personal differences, nuances and the acknowledgement that the process of forgiving is more important than the result, forgiveness or being forgiven. To forgive also invites judgement and righteousness, spiritual and emotional healing and a second chance. ( )
