Forgiving is painful but many times it is notable in order for one to proceed on. Forgiving may be simple or extremely difficult and I am determined many of you wondered, as did I, how the Amish community could forgive the cancel of its children. “The Power of Forgiveness” is a doughty novel 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”) spy at the power of forgiveness and exhibit how forgiving can be transformative. They examine 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 perform has different approaches to finding a contrivance to enact 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 interested 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 harm me and I have been harboring that distress for over two weeks now and each day I gather it harder to recede on. Each day that passes also makes it that distinguished harder to forgive-especially because I know that I did nothing injurious.
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 noteworthy statement when she tells us that we live in a time when there is a astronomical deal of sinful around us and that we, of course, must acquire those who deal in infamous 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 damage in the memory”. We do not cast off the memory but it stops controlling us.
What does it mean to forgive someone? How do you go about forgiving? Does it mean that we forgo justice? Is forgiving simply a spiritual experience between an individual and God or does it play out on many different levels? These and other questions are addressed in this glimpse at forgiveness by filmmaker Martin Doblmeier (Bonhoeffer) . It looks at precise life examples of forgiveness such as the Amish in the wake of the killing of five Amish schoolgirls that ripped their community. It shows the speech Elie Weisel made to the German Bundestadt spirited them to ask forgiveness of the Jewish people and then two months later, the speech made to the Israeli Knesset by the President of Germany asking forgiveness on behalf of Germany. It looks at forgiveness on many different levels including the physical level and how forgiveness (or lack of it) affects us physically and shows examples of forgiveness being taught in elementary schools as well as being offered in colleges. It shows three women who lost loved ones in 9/11 who depart to Lebanon to experience the Garden of Forgiveness established by the Lebanese and wonder why there is so worthy opposition to establishing a Garden of Forgiveness on the WTC status. While many might want to limit forgiveness to a theological discussion (and it certainly is a major if not THE major theological doctrine), this film shows the power of forgiveness beyond impartial the theological implications and how our world could be different if forgiveness were taken seriously and practiced by everyone. At the very least, this should be a extraordinary conversation starter for those serious about studying forgiveness. Consider of the political ramifications if candidates running for office would stand up and ask forgiveness of their opponents when they say something in error or intentionally malign them or if corporate leaders would ask forgiveness of shareholders for the mistakes they made in the name of corporate profits and greed. Perhaps, like most things, it works best if it starts from the individual and community level and works upward. That means it starts with you and me. [...]
