Sir Wearer of Hats Posted April 22, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Forgiveness is a very Christ-like option. I can't see it catching on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ealdwita Posted April 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 22, 2013 And just who gave you the right to use the word 'we'? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted April 22, 2013 #5 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) I am not one of the "we". Would not this piece be better on facebook?! Edited April 22, 2013 by freetoroam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asadora Posted April 22, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Don't speak for me. I can do that just fine all on my own. I do not forgive cowards. I do not forgive terrorists. I am not one of the 'we'. (As Freetoroam so beautifully wrote) Kind Regards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Merton Posted April 22, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It occurs to me seeing this exchange that just as it is not ours to judge, it is not ours to forgive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted April 22, 2013 #9 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It's a piece of creative writing, designed to ellicit an emotional response. I think it's pretty good, it has you all very emotive 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan'O Posted April 22, 2013 #14 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It's a piece of creative writing, designed to ellicit an emotional response. I think it's pretty good, it has you all very emotive Trolling. But that is OK when it serves you and your amusement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted April 22, 2013 #15 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Trolling. But that is OK when it serves you and your amusement? This is the artists and writers section - it is not about amusement it is about expression. You are aware it is a poem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Merton Posted April 23, 2013 #18 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Actually on second thought maybe not; I understood this poem. I don't generally understand the ones in The New Yorker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Merton Posted April 30, 2013 #20 Share Posted April 30, 2013 It's true enough, hate is an experience we feel. The fist giving the guy a bloody nose is what he feels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
