This is so good, Susan. Thank you for sharing this. It is so similar to the Biblical concept of loving others as you love yourself. It is a choice, an intention, that is not based on emotion. It’s different from the emotional love that you have for your children. And it’s not possible unless you love yourself.

I think there are two different kinds of forgiveness. There is the forgiveness that is only possible for someone who repents and asks for forgiveness. And there is the forgiveness, a sort of moving on, that is offered independent of what the offending person does.
