#forgive

I shake my head. I can't imagine living the way he does-always keeping track of who gave me what and what I should give them in return, incapable of love or loyalty or forgiveness, a one-eyed man with a knife in hand, looking fr someone else's eye to poke out. That isn't life. It's some paler version of life. I wonder where he learned if from. p. 395 ↗

It seems we need someone to know us as we are--with all we have done--and forgive us. We need to tell. We need to be whole in someone's sight: Know this about me, and yet love me. Please. ...for...others it seems there must be a person to redeem us to ourselves. It isn't enough, apparently, to know oneself. To forgive oneself in secret. ↗
