Jobs Years Forgive Me

More From Heinrich Heine

They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.

Past Wife Mind
There is a saying that to understand is to forgive, but that is an error, so papa used to say. you must forgive in order to understand. until you forgive, you defend yourself against the possibility of understanding. ... if you forgive, he would say, you may indeed still not understand, but you will be ready to understand, and that is the posture of grace.
