Do you know how to forgive?

Asked by EmptyNest (2033points) November 2nd, 2011

When my middle child, my daughter was a teenager, she was such a handful that I became very depressed, (all the typical symptoms) The Psychologist we were seeing told me: “Your children need leadership from you.” I thought about that for a few seconds and realized I was tapped out… although I’d had it once, the “how to” of the word leadership escaped me…so I spelled it. L-E-A-D-E-R-S-H-I-P. This was how much help I needed. I sought it. I learned it. This is a common word most people understand. But what about more difficult words? I see “Forgiveness” as “flying an airplane”. Some know how to do it, but the vast majority does not. You completely understand the meaning of the word. That does not mean you know how to do it.
