As the USA approaches Thanksgiving 2016, I propose or submit a value of mine that has been a constant in my life ---- I speak of forgivness.

It starts with oneself, with the recognition that I will never be perfect, nonetheless my gifts and talents with my shortcomings provide daily opportunities to grow become better through the periods of life ranging from childhood to senior adulthood.

I am a forgiving person, unconditionally regardless what may or will come my way. I do not let myself become unforgiving, recognizing again I am not perfect.

Patience and kindness/understanding have and continue to assist me with expanding this value.
 
That’s wonderful…🙂

Can you elaborate on how you forgive everyone?
 
My example is Jesus Christ and what he did during his mortal ministry. No conditions/etc for example for the woman caught in adultery or anything anyone has or could do to me — if that person’s motives are not to be continually doing wrong things, with the characters flaws that humans have, including kiling another in cold blood ---- I will forgive, period. The world in my experience continues to set conditions on how, who, when, where, what, and why forgiveness should a occur at all

Christ was not any of the that,speaking of what men and women do today, if you will ---- his gospel or good news from his example is the model to follow today and always for my life
 
Conditions for forgiveness are not the same as conditions for reentering someone’s life. For example, I have forgiven my SIL, but I do not subject myself to further abuse. Likewise, you can forgive an alcoholic parent, but that doesn’t mean you let them babysit. This post seems like a passive-aggressive response to my comment on another thread and I do not appreciate it.
 
You have your free will or choice just as much as the woman at the well in adultery, etc whether ancient days or now, when one knows the will of God and is a follower of his will.

Of course, we can do whatever we choose, in accordance with will of God or not — no force, etc.
 
So no denial, then. And if you’re implying that I’m ignoring God’s will, Jesus had some pretty strong words about virtue signaling, as well. I’m out.
 
I can and will only speak for myself ---- what you do is your life. No implying.

Regardless, forgiveness is the value that it is for me.

What if the person does continually do wrong things without being sorry? I saw that sentence in your reply, and that was not clear.
 
I forgive regardless of recognition of guilt and/or act that was done against another.

I am not a doormat, enabler, etc in that mindset, nonetheless placing in myself in appropriate mind with folks who do not state or have no interest in expressing being sorry.
