When
I did an Internet search for the terms forgiveness, reconciliation, and revenge
there were many different ideas or thoughts on each. The one thing that I did
notice was that the three words were all linked in one-way or another. I couldn’t
find any site that had one of the topics without discussing one of the others. The
sites that I found were basically all the same; explaining different ways in
which reconciliation can be found as well as different ways to find
forgiveness. The term that produced the most and best results was forgiveness. Forgiveness
seemed to be the most commonly found and had really good results. I think the
reason for this was because it is the best solution to a conflict. In order to
restore anything and reconcile you first have to forgive. It is the first step
in restoring a friendship. I did not find much on revenge because I don’t think
it is a well supported tactic in solving a problem or conflict.
I liked your post because of what you said about forgiveness being the first step to reconciliation. I agree with this completely. When you are involved in a conflict its OK and natural to be mad, but to resolve the situation, you have to forgive the person and work on solving the problem so that both parties can be happy with the result. It was also interesting that all the websites you encountered had all three of the words and not just one.
