Compassion and forgiveness when misused, covers up evil they do not delete it away.
They become tools that are used to cover up dirt…like putting a pretty blanket over the top will change what lay beneath.
What happens instead is you now have a dirty blanket too.
What is so surprising to me is that many cannot see that their acts of forgiveness and compassion are fuel for evil and not only that, leave a stain on your own hands.
I know that the words seem to have this magical power to make changes in another, but sadly the only one it changes is you.
You become blind to the real power of evil or maybe blind to the power of truth.
The power of the truth is often set aside for the comfort and warmth of forgiveness and compassion, and it is much easier applied.
Kind words are spoken, prayers and intentions are muttered or uttered, words, words, words…a blanket of words.
A blanket, which covers up the dirt/evil, becomes a veil behind which you see; eventually it is so thick you can’t see yourself.
Not only is your sight impaired looking outward, but also the vision of your soul is hidden from view.
In the moment I discovered all that my blanket had covered, I uncovered my soul.
I sat with a bare soul and a dirty blanket.
A very dirty blanket, a reality unchanged, actions unstopped, wounds unhealed, sorrows and pain lay in a heap by blanket of useless words.
Words of morals,
Words of value,
Words of piety,
Words of kindness,
Words of forgiveness,
Words upon words upon words…the mighty words had fallen.
Had bounced off of evil leaving evil unscratched, words just pieces of the alphabet all jumbled up.
My new definition of forgiveness is once again Martha Beck’s. “Forgiveness is accepting that the past will not change.” And I believe compassion is seeing what is.
Using words to match the action, like the old sesame song, “two of things belong together, one of these things just doesn’t belong….”
Reality needs no words to cover-up.
