       It’s like Paul told the Corinthians, that it would be better to just be wronged than to take wrath out against a person, or probably more prevalent, to continue to take wrath out against them in our minds. If we take a close look at others around us, we will notice that some have decided to forgive certain offenses, and it has worked tremendously well for them. That’s the truth of the matter. We don’t have to respond like we have in the past. We have the option of choosing a different pattern, trying something new, since we know that what we have done in the past hasn’t worked. It’s, again, only worked to make us miserable. But by choosing a new way of forgiveness, we see ourselves heal, and perhaps may even see a healed relationship. A couple of complications occur when we judge others. The first is that in judging others, we often find ourselves guilty of doing the same thing or something similar or comparable. The second is that in judging others, we are not utilizing the concept of mercy.
