| "The Power of Forgiveness"
Healing Amos Lassen Forgiving is painful but many times it is necessary in order for one to move on. Forgiving may be simple or extremely difficult and I am sure many of you wondered, as did I, how the Amish community could forgive the murder of its children. "The Power of Forgiveness" is a bold new documentary that shows how forgiveness can bring about both personal and spiritual transformation. Elie Wiesel (Holocaust survivor), Marianne Williamson (Spiritual Activist), Thich Nhat Hanh (Buddhist teacher and peace activist) and Thomas More (author of "Care of the Soul") look at the power of forgiveness and show how forgiving can be transformative. They look at various conditions ranging from the simplest of spats to major catastrophes like 9/11 and guide us on how to forgive. There are many manifestations of forgiveness and each form has different approaches to finding a way to achieve peace with the issues. What I learned is that forgiving is not as difficult as it may seem. The movie hit me very personally as I am presently involved in a spat with one of my teaching colleagues at the university. We were once like sister and brother until she did something that really hurt me and I have been harboring that hurt for over two weeks now and each day I find it harder to move on. Each day that passes also makes it that much harder to forgive-especially because I know that I did nothing wrong. On of the highlights of the film is contained in the extras. Desmond Tutu spoke at the Washington National Cathedral about his feelings on forgiving. Marianne Williamson also makes a powerful statement when she tells us that we live in a time when there is a great deal of evil around us and that we, of course, must hold those who deal in evil responsible for their actions. But we "nevertheless [must] stand for the possibility of human redemption that turns even the hardest hearts". By forgiving we let go of "the pain in the memory". We do not cast off the memory but it stops controlling us. |
