good speech there chief

since you wanna do all that though.....

i honestly (all jokes aside for a sec) think true forgiveness takes into account having to deal with the reality of the past and its potential consequences....pointed to that "hope" discussed (by me) elsewhere

you can't pretend (or make up a false reality) you gotta choose GIVEN that the perpetrator might very well do it again

THAT is really forgiving (in my opinion)

...and for the record I didn't say I personally would/woudln't be able to forgive - I just questioned the original premise

when it became clear we are just making up stuff I made up a scenario where the choice would be 1000x easier (if you gone do it, go big)
