Pia's Nest: Lancaster.

October 04, 2006

Lancaster.

Not only did the Amish representative forgive the family of the man - and the man - who killed the young girls, but he forgave them the day after the murders, before the girls were buried. Which makes me think that forgiveness is not something these people come to, but, rather, forgiveness is what they anticipate.

It was incredibly humbling, because that wasn't my first response for sure. Maybe this is how world peace happens?

What a brilliant observation, Pia. It sheds this light on what they did.

I love that idea of anticipating forgiveness. Love it!

I think I'm going to need a new vocabulary word for this sort of forgiveness. Because as far as I can see forgiveness has always been a two way street, a social contract: one apology + one acceptance = forgiveness.

This isn't that though. This is totally different.
