These
obstacles, however, are very real. The first, and one of the most difficult has
to do with forgiveness. The moment we ponder a twisted or broken relationship
with another person, our emotions go on the defensive. To escape looking at the
wrongs we have done another, we resentfully focus on the wrong that he has done
us. This is especially true if he has, in fact, behaved badly at all.
Triumphantly we seize upon his misbehavior as the perfect excuse for minimizing
or forgetting our own.
